The people of earth face many problems
Struggling to make their living and maintain peace.
There are differences in language, faith and race
With misguided hate unwilling to cease.

To solve these problems that plague mankind
Man must strive as never before.
Demanding justice with truth in settling disputes
While recalling with pain, the casualties of war.

War is an emotional release for man
Practiced since the first stones were cast.
Could it be nature's way of thinning the numbers
As the fallen are consumed by the past.

May the future show mercy on all who survive
With their visions of innocence forever lost.
Prayerfully, someday man will cease wagging war
Avoiding through peace it's consequence and cost.
