Where's The Harmony?



What price peace it can't be bought,
Who appreciates history the lessons taught?
Year after year it's the same old thing,
Wars and fighting destruction they bring!!
Throughout the World no harmony at all,
Bombs and rockets they rain and fall,
Who's right or wrong it doesn't matter much,
Greed lust and power I'd rather not touch.
Nature still exists if you give it a chance,
Casually look about give freedom a glance,
Study the raindrops fresh air and a breeze,
Observe green pastures flowers and trees.
Don't be embroiled in politics and strife,
Consider the children and give them a life,
What sort of example is portrayed and shown,
When they see is how massacres have grown.
