Platinum rockets outshine the night
Setting on fire, this battle of wills
Radioactive, they tarnish the skies
Feeling nothing, only out for the kill
Men, women, children, die horrible deaths
Tragedy strikes, not so unexpected
War torn and ravished, faraway lands
Unable to fight back, quite unprotected
Peace needs a place, to call its home
An Earthly portal, to welcome all
Three nations together, cannot do it alone
For when evil wins, the mighty will fall
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Syria, and to the men and women of our armed forces, along side France and Great Britain. May God watch over them…

It’s such a mess and so hard to wade through the political b.s. to know what is really happening. Peace is always the preferred solution. Well said.

It’s terrifying. I don’t know how else to react to it except to write about it. Thank you, V.J.

The only thing that scares me is when people started a war, but I was more scared when those people didn’t know why they started a war. Just because they’re mad and full of hatred ’cause people nowadays was like a soon-to-exploded bomb. I was sad about the change in our humanity.

Yes, Jack, humanity has lost its self of purpose. I pray, one day, it will again find itself.
