Back and Forth

I am dreaming of a better land with everyone standing hand in hand.

Not stealing from the one next to them, but minding their own & their land.

If everyone focused soulfully, there wouldn't be death and cruelty.

Soldiers wouldn't be battling it out, or hindering the lives of those about.

Who wants others tormenting them? Invading them or driving them?

Bombing and hurting innocent ones. At first seeming like video fun.

Vividly enough it is no fun. Dangerous operations hurting them.

Loved ones standing,hurting & crying.

Which mothers child may next be dying?

Terrorist came with their bombs in rows Tables turned,now back they go.

Is this what life is all about? Killing human beings without doubt?

Back and forth, back and forth bombing till there is no more.
