exquisite to the eye
Ugly is what lies beneath
Flames shoot up in a fury
Chorus lets out a song to replenish
Replenishing all that has been lost
People are burning dieing fro peace
Fighting in wars for what they want
Society gives up the poor to fight
Presidents wish to stay behind
Looking out for our country (a lie)
Wanting to make a name in history (the truth)
Presidents hooked on adding and getting more
More than what the last president has
'Why don't the presidents fight the war
Why do they always send the poor'
Author notes
The quote is from B.Y.O.B. By System Of A Down.. their lyrics are powerful and all about the war, which I personally don't think we should be in any more.
So this is my opinion

You have voiced your opinion very well. I have a lot of questions I would like answered by our leaders but right now all we can do is take the answers he supplies.
It was a great piece and I hope many people read it.
Thank you for sharing.
