Gunshots are heard
A sound that is all too familiar to the human race
A sound that revolves around violence

Bodies lay lifeless on the ground
They will never move

To fight a battle that will kill thousands
To fight a battle that has no good reason to be fought
To fight a battle until almost everyone is dead

When all it does is ruin lives

Why do we fight
Why can’t we learn to act civilized

We say we are against murdering the innocent
We say we are civilized
