No place for violence

Violence begets violence

And is acceptable in any form,

Government uses division

And so it becomes the norm,

The media adds to it every day

Highlighting what happens on the streets,

Yet ignoring the horrors of war in everyway

Encouraging us to support the troops,

Fighting in foreign lands

Stealing territory and oil usual for greedy man,

Right wing violence against those who are different

Is not condoned enough,

Violence is violence always cuts up rough,

And the victims of the violence are payed lip service

By the government and the press,

We need to strive for unity and come together for the best,

Accept that we’re all different

And learn to embrace this once and for all,

Let’s find some peace and harmony

That should be societies call.
