Promote The Peace


Don't wage war, stop the suicide missions, why risk our civilians and not the people in the prisons? Inhibited hate, stop and think, why do we kill anyway? Poisonous souls, now the guilt is here to stay, I'm against murder any form or shape, arm me with a new rifle and claim I'm fighting for the states, tell my wife that I'm okay, writing languishing letters of hope, I'm building castles in the air and hope they throw down a rope, I understand the struggle of our nation's corps, I support to the fullest, they have all my respect for sure, but I can't say the same for those who placed them in this pain, I understand if there's an aim, but we have an unexplained motive, what a shame, killing our soldiers, we should just send our people home to bring their families closer

It's not about me. It's not about you. It's all about God. Learning to be swift to hear and slow to speak. Traveling is a passion of mine. Still learning to be that change. Consider me a work in progress.
