Breathe in the air
Release your fears
Remember the truth
Both day and night
Collapse into you
Arise from the ash
Take up your arms
Fight while you can
Die where you stand
When it all ends know
Nothing comes from war.

It's great that you have already clarity about this at your young age. May you diffuse your awareness always like this.

Love,

Nothing comes from war?
How 'bout the USA?  Is our country not the product of something called the Revolutionary War?  Does the number 1776 mean anything to you?  How about 1789 or  1812?  How about 12/07/41?
Are you enjoying your freedom as a result of our country fighting to preserve a way of life for you?  Many men and women died fighting in wars to preserve your freedom and your rights under the Bill of Rights which are a product of the "first war" on this continent.  

I happen to think freedom is "something."  It even preserves your right to say nothing comes from war.

I happen to be a firm believr in the fact that war brought freedom and has preserved the USA many times. This poem mostly describs the Vietnam war, and how iraq is slowly becoming another vietnam
