Madness in the World

by kurt - Virgo

Madness in the World 

All I see when I look around 
Are innocent kids on the playground 
Soon they will grow up and kill 
They have polluted emotions to fill

The world has turned thin and feeble 
On the news all I see is people killing people 
People are fighting for naught 
Because that is how they were taught 

I wish the world would mend 
And all this killing would end
And my kids would grow up safe 
But all I can do now is have faith 

Blameless lives are finishing 
And all others keep wishing 
For the madness to cease 
And the world would be in peace 

For all the soldiers overseas 
And those who died for freedom 
Thanks to all who sacrificed their lives 
And I can stand here free of worries
