Thousands displaced,
even more dead.
This is what happens
in war.
Death is the end.
There is no second chance.
Innocent people die
because someone they don’t know
hates them.
The world isn’t fair.
People lose everything. Peace is the only way
for humans to get away from petty differences.
The only way to have peace
is to listen.

I had to write and submit it for my english class. We had to write about a current event. I chose the war in Afghanistan. I hate the idea of people fighting and killing each other. I hope people will realize that war is a thing and even though you may live far from it, it happens and it isn't something people should be proud of. I feel so helpless when I think about war because there isn't much I can do right now. I hope I can bring awareness on the subject so people don't take freedom for granted.
