Pro"missing" Peace

"Ladies and Gentlemen
Today is d-day
We send your sons and daughters
Off to the slaughter
Promising peace
With words like bombs and death
A bloodshed to end bloodshed
That will leave the
Stench of flesh upon
Innocent skin
And fathers blood
On children's heads
Ladies and Gentlemen
Today we attack our attackers
Stealing there bodies
Cutting away their hope
And joy
Leaving widows, orphans, and heart broken mothers
On both sides of the line
Ladies and Gentlemen we send all to their death beds
Ladies and Gentlemen:
All are dead."
Mic cuts off
Screen goes dead

I decided to say something after scrolling through quotes one of which was
"Apathy isn’t it we can do something" -John Lennon
I believe that’s true and this is the first action I thought to take.
