Why War?

by dejohnsrld (Debbie)

I stand in defiance
Of an alliance
Which despite compliance
Would perpetuate more violence

Naani

doesn't have to rhyme, however this one does

It greatly disturbs me to hear the news tonight which not only reports another mass shooting at a navel yard, but has our leaders still thinking if Syria complies with giving up their chemical weapons, we still need to send our missiles their way. Why do we continue to think violence and war is the answer to violence and war? It is a vicious cycle in which no one wins, we all lose.
