Bullets flying through the air
for so long there's been this warfare
people screaming in pain
why did this war start are so many humans insane?

red is all I see
blood of so many
red is the color of love as well as hate
for it symbolizes a heart as well as a person in a bloody state

what is that I see?
a white flag?is the enemy about to flee?
is this war over and done
can I finally go back and see my son?

is it peace at last?
will we look at the war as just the past?
I hear fire crackers blast
but most of all will this peace last?

-IN MEMORY OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FAUGHT IN WARS
