Left Peace Behind

by- Danielle Rye

A thousand voices fill my head...

I'm alive; I should be dead.

Many greater people fell

Because of bloodlust in this living hell.

When, oh whem will this war end?

This war so terrible, taking friend from friend.

Our brave soldiers dying everyday,

Great lives taken to keep our deaths at bay.

And after we had come so far...

They cut so deep, and left a scar.

So now we don't know who to trust.

Our love is taken with every thrust.

What is all this violence for?

What purpose is this, this monster called 'war'?

This is for power, which turns good to bad.

If this is for power, action must be iron clad.

We ust fight this fight says everyone.

Take action into our own hands, and fire every gun...

No, we shouldn't do this, we shouldn't fight!

We must show these people the way to light!

Then maybe one day, we'll wake to find...

That war has gone and left peace behind.
