This was written by Tricia Wolf(lovealwaysbambi) and because it did touch me I asked her permission to post it here I wrote this...
for anyone who has ever been in a fight
for anyone who has lost a loved one to war
for those whose countries are at war now
for the future of the world we live in
and for anyone who needs a little hope.

But, I especially wrote this for my good friend Paige, whom I pray for her safety every night before I go to bed. Please share this with everyone you know and help to spread some peace and love to those around you. Maybe YOU can be the one to spark some peace.

how can you sit idly by,
while thousands of innocent people die?

how can you go to bed at night
knowing of these peoples' plight?

do you ask, "What can I do?"
are you making an effort to help them through?

is there something more than can be done
or will you turn your cheek and run

someone needs to take a stand
someone needs to lend a hand

someone needs to stop the hate
this world needs to congregate

we need to learn to live in Peace
or our freedom is sure to cease

why does there have to be a war
what is all the fighting for?

don't tell me you fight for a better tomorrow
do you really think it is worth all the sorrow?

is it worth a life, maybe your own
if you are afraid to leave your home?

are you really happy with the world today?
or is there room for us to change?

I think that we should open our eyes
and make en effort to change our life

if fear breeds anger and anger breeds hate
then maybe we need to educate

our best defense is to be informed
to learn the truth and open doors

let people in and show them the way
to a safe, happy and peaceful today

how can YOU sit idly by
while thousands of innocent people die?
