-Global Warring-

Fire and destruction fill the world tonight,
The carnage can be seen through the flickers of light
No one ever saw the end was near,
But now they reflect on what they held most dear

Never have things changed so quickly
Never was humanity altered so swiftly
A distant flash can be seen by all
For one, for many, it's reality's call

Snatched from a dreamworld the victims are stunned,
Their unswerving aggressors are globally shunned
The world responds with deadly force,
Wishing revenge, pain, and bloodshed of course

Man's natural want is safety from his fellow man,
But when this is deemed impossible, is replaced by brutal vengeance
When loved ones are hurt, emotions run wild
Humanity itself is not for the mild

Many question if such conflicts can ever be quelled
Will a shark remain passive if the blood of prey is smelled?
It is man's nature to to attack, destroy, and conquer
