War Sonnet
it sometimes seems like a necessary evil the only way to be free or to quiet the upheaval, but we leave a riff between the sea the people aren't equal, people are the problem, but people are the key, by the world hatred is all that's seen but how can this be changed lie to the people through their tv screen? but can people views truly be rearranged? can the past be wiped clean? or will the world remain unchanged? can anyone answer the question? or will war become just another profession? |
Obstacles
We all have moments of despair and regression And feel like the work to overcome them is too great No matter the circumstance life keeps its progression We either keep up or trust in fate Whether it’s from the next big exam Or the death of someone very close Whether it’s taken with a grain of sand Or hits you the most Your team can triumph towards a championship Or struggle through another tough season Find a way to surpass a hardship Or to just find another reason We are given a life to live the way we choose To contemplate between wrong or right to choose to win or to lose |
