no questions asked.
His lies will be ignored
and his motives won't be grasped.

But everyone is missing the point.
This is not about winning the war,
or about who can gain the most.
This is about so much more.

This is about people getting murdered
not about one Man's gain of Pride.
People are losing their homes,
and they are running out of places to hide.

What will it take
to stop people from dying?
How many more times
can you watch the children crying?

This is a selfish war.
It's the innocent who suffer from this.
They will never know what it's like
to live life in Bliss.

So I pray to God
to keep these people whole.
To give light to the children in the dark,
so that they can keep the faith in their soul.
