Questions

Can you answer me this

The war

And the relentless hate

The pointless destruction

And senseless loss of life

What is its purpose

Its worth

What lesson

Are we meant to be learning

What question

Should we be answering

Or better yet

What question

Should we be asking

My brothers at war

My sisters in tears

My mother

Lost in her pain

And my father

Unable to end this war

If this is the battle

We are meant to fought

Than better equip us

With a heart of steel

And a mind of knives

For our heart of flesh

Has failed us

And we allow the enemy to flee

We allow the world

To tell us how to be

But all we need

Is to be the people

You know we can be

So as a humble sheep

Among the savage wolves

I strive to live

According to your will

Within the world

You placed me in,
