World Wide War Zone


Boom Boom in the north, south, east, west

That’s all you hear about in news

The fights, the killing and screaming across the nations

Across the country from places in India and Syria

People living in fear day to day night to night

You see it in the news and yet Pow Pow shots are still fired

In our own backyard with gang violence

They say we are fighting for peace but is it really for peace that we’re fighting for

If you really want to see change then it starts from within

It starts with you and I
