[February 2, 2016]

Love is a shadow, with no form
It has no power here, no uniform
Darkness resides in the hearts of men
It carries blood, it carries sin

Evil brings slaughter and pain
It brings no laughter, only stains
Crimson splatters against the innocent
As evil brings forth cruel punishment

Peace is unobtainable, for it cannot linger
Too greedy are the men who point their fingers
The people are crushed under oppression
All this aggression, can bring only depression

Armies march, battles rage
No matter which day and age
The world always returns to past wrongs
Where once again, the people cannot stand strong

The government changes, they say all is fair
And behind your back, they poison the air
With nothing but lies and false hope on their lips
The people fight for a leader who brings the apocalypse

They believe they are fighting for what is right
As the innocent are destroyed by trained knights
For the filthy leaders hiding behind their walls
Watching their people die, taking their fall

Blood and tears, pain and sorrow
There is nothing left for tomorrow
Anger and agony, death and life
It all becomes one, beneath the knife

Generations pass, the world has changed
Although peace has not been obtained
The world is divided, it cannot stand strong
Until the men with greed, can sing the same song

Without listening, we will never understand each other
Without unity, we will never be together
Without hope, there will be no change
Without compassion, there will be nobody left to save
