Sand

This is something I wrote in history class while my teacher was ranting about Hitler. Hope you like.


What a world we live in,
Full of hate and malice.
I look around and see,
The fire of the chalice.

Flaming Troy, burns to the ground.
Great Pompeii, buried in the ash.
Jewish refugees, running for their lives.
The Nazi gave no quarter.

Why do we fight?
Why do we hate?
Why do we tear at the throats,
Of our once proud comrades?

We don’t have a reason.
We do it because we can.
The fighting must stop,
Or we’ll all be buried in the sand.

I loved it, every meaning full and true. Remminds me of my own quote that i use all the time.
