Analysis of War
War shadows this world
thousends of lifes are lost for ever
because humanity hurled
What's right and wrong only You know better.
Man against man are fighting for their existence.
The good suppose to win,
All this in front of Your presence.
What a cruel world we live in.
Still I am here
standing high up in front of You.
From my eyes escapes a tear
wondering what You do.
Everything You created is perfect,
still, good wins not over bad in Your own wars.
Every disease and illness a fight over adding ourselfs to the stars.
Cell against cell fights to take the upper hand, they are both yours.
Who are the good ones and who the bad?
Many more die in Your lost wars then ours.
The strongest and restless wins.
You teach us,not the kind and noble,and that is sad.
