Can you run this by me one more time
I'm still trying to understand
How nation can war against nation
Man fight against man
When did we become enemies
Of a race that is OURS
Was it when we made borders
Or created offensive words
Like third world countries
Where they are less economically developed
And we are proper civilisations
I see power and status with words there are connotations
Who drew the line to pit one another
The haves against the have nots
Shouldn't we draw on the happiness of what we have
Instead of wanting what others have got
Politics taking control
What they are doing is not socially understandable
So how can it be acceptable
When consequences are irrevocable
Leaving out what really matters
Thinking of us instead of everyone else
Taking the making of religion
From a worship of God to a worship of self
No more hospitals
No more schools
Long gone is law and order
What is justice
When there is no humanity
Look around you
All I see is blood that is red
Countries which are destroyed
On both sides of the fence
The blame is never on only one persons head
The problem goes much deeper than that
We'll keep on digging our way straight into hell
Which is soon all that we will have left
