War and Terror

by Harsh Hari aged 13

The world is terror-stricken; all around there is war,
Can anybody tell me what all this is for?
For all these things, is there a good reason?
War, Terrorism, Arson and Treason?
Some say religion, but I say no.
Is this the right path that God would show?
Some say bad relations, well it’s partly true,
Arguments happen; but is this what you’d do?
Looking at the world’s condition, what can I say?
Our soldiers might not even come home today.
Hearing the news, the family will cry,
They‘ll say, “He left without saying goodbye.”
Now look at the condition in Syria,
Only Sadness and Death exist in that area.
Is all this really needed; this great loss of life?
Is it necessary to live at the tip of a knife?
In war, there’s no one right or wrong, there’s only who is left,
But still people carry on with terrorism and theft.
Terrorism and crime has a very high range,
But I still believe this world can change.
A little effort from us is all it will take,
And we’ll cherish the great world we’ll make.
