War
life’s an illusion
we are lead to delusions
wall of confusion
the world isn’t round
strange shenanigans abound
as bombs hit the ground
minutes are crawling
the salt of my tears falling
and change is calling
in world of misdeeds
peace destroyed by pride and greed
you are all I need

Hopeful last stanza. Really, what good is it for?
Thanks, I always like to have a little hope. And yeah war… good for absolutely nothing!!!
Like the way you brought in a glimmer of positive there at the end
