The news each days the same
Violence seems the only game
Hatred giving birth to death and pain
When ideologies collide can either side survive?
Is there nothing we can do but watch and cry?
Peace cannot be found
In the shadow of a mushroom cloud
Yet the lesson seems impossible to learn
In this world so full of hate
Is there any other fate?
No where to turn accept to prayer
In the end there shall be wars
And rumors of even more
God help us to survive, please be there.
Please be there!

The world stands by and waits as the Middle East decides its fate. Afganistan, Pakistan, India, Iraq, Israel, Palistine all at risk, fingers on the trigger of destruction. Are we part of the problem or the cure?
