What are we fighting for?   Abandon your mission.   What you practice is a contradiction.   You fight for peace but to get it you burn down houses.   Then excuse yourselves by laying the dead in roses.    Some of us fight just to fight, or for freedom, power, money, but who is right?   We are here together, so why can’t we STAND together? We are damaged, but we can be fixed.   Like the bullet holes in your clothing, stitched. We are all capable of forgiveness, sacrifice, kindness, and love.   Selflessness, truthfulness, and courage.   Let’s use it to rise above.    The hippies had it right.   To be proud of war, is to have hate in your heart.  Peace and love.   That’s of what we should be a part.

War what is good for?
