The blood's been shed
all crimson red
such death & destruction
no clearing can be found
They say, “ but hey
It's a part of life!”
But..... does it have to be?
I hate all this strife
Fighting for who-
Is the rightful ruler?
People talk and complain
about what can be done
When this one says,
“ Let's end 'em all,
shoot them down
take our bombs
and fill the ground!”
But will this stop
the constant hatred
that engulfs the earth
which we pollute?
I pray to God
he will end it all
and peace again
will protect all man.

The meaning behind that is that the Christians believe God is going to end all wars, bringing peace to the whole world by cleansing the wicked out. In our day there will be no peace, only conflicts and fighting over different things. Thank you for your comments, and if in any of my work you find something that needs changing let me know. I will try and read more of your work and give a proper review.
I like this poem, somewhere between political and emotional. The last stanza threw me.. not sure if you mean God should 'end it all' as in end the world or end it as in end the fighting.
