'Peace' Poem by Austin Alfano

Why can't we live in peace?
Is it too much to ask?
It's not too much to say the least,
It should be a simple task.

Yet we continue at war,
no attempt at peace.
What are we fighting for?
It's war we should completely release.

Innocent men, women, children
in the line of fire.
Women giving up their men.
Is this really the government's desire?

All the violence,
it's a crime.
Stop it now! no more silence!
They must stop now, it's time!

What are they doing?
It's completely absurd.
there is no more fooling,
we've caught on, stop the war.

We don't want war.
Why are you doing this?
This government is rotten to the core.
We want PEACE and NOT war.
