At War With Our Own Poem by Dianna Nally

World war 1, and World war 2 were very
devastating times.
And those who fought in Viet Nam will
never be able to leave those times behind.


We want to believe we'll never again
cross that danger zone.
But the biggest war, and maybe the most
dangerous of all,
Is the war we are at with our own.



The difference between the wars from the past,
are we fought them for someones rights.
But our troops today are called gangs and racists
and they're here because they like to fight.
They drive by homes where there are children all around
And will shoot anyone they don't like.


How can a country who is at battle with their own
teach another country how to live amongst others?
We've set such a bad example for future generations.
So bad that they can take the life of a brother


People are so afraid to trust
They're no sure who's bad and who's good.
It's sad our children can't go outside and be safe
It's sad they can't have a childhood.



It's clear no one person can solve all the
problems of the world.
But we need to put culture and color aside
and make life safe for all our children
So they no longer have to hide.
