No Weapons Day Poem by Christina C Sunrise

What are we fighting for?

Why all the non-sense, why all the wars?

Fighting for freedom, fighting for peace,

bringing innocent victims to their knees.

Isn’t there a better way,

by putting down all your weapons,

putting down all weapons just for a day.

We live in a world of survival mode,

survival for money, food and home.

Survival for all of our beliefs,

even when they bring suffering.

We live together on this planet,

many people and one planet all alone.

Shouldn’t we work together to create

solutions to all of world’s problems?

Does war solve anything?

Just causing more revenge.

For people are trying to defend,

their beliefs and region.

End all tyranny and government control,

let the people’s voices be heard,

Start a website for people’s voices around the world.
