There are no victories in war!



We may not always see eye to eye!
 We may not agree about the same things!
You may not like what I like!
 Yet, diffrences, are what make us both human!
You may eat what I do not!
 We may not even believe in the same God!
What makes either one of us wrong?
 To attack one another only makes us both brutish!
A few things we both should like!
 Peace and a chance to live grow, and, to, achieve, in peace!
The right to feel safe and thrive!
 Love brought us all together!
Hate just ruins it!
 At times we all may be wrong!
Living and learning is the part of life we should start choosing!
 For death lives with the unkind!
Hate only yeilds for hate!
 What future chance do we have to survive, if killing each other remains what humans are choosing?
At times, it's better to fold or seperate from negative over ruling!
 What life are we giving to our children, if, our only, answer, is, to, start shooting?
We should all think before we act at times!
 Reasoning, meaning, responding, is the one thing that seperates us from animals!
These are just facts!
 To simply state them is not accusing!
