Why God From When I Was In 10th Grade

Peace, is the message that they all teach;
Peace is the message they all preach.
We've read it in Bibles, Korans', and Scrolls alike. 
You would think, by this time, earths' people would've gotten it right.
The bombs keep dropping on countries without care.
Done under the banner of fighting terror.
Children are burning and dying in bed; 
they are killed as their evening prayers are leaving their head. 
We have been taught to turn the other cheek; 
however this message seems not to be, take mercy on the meek. 
We've been taught to go without asking why;
 we go proudly, proudly off to die. 

For what? Is all I can ask. 
What will we gain, for safety we have not.
Towers may not be falling, this is true. 
However, lets not forget a man tried to kill with a bomb in his shoe.
Why not just put down our swords; 
and disband are gun wielding hordes?

Why don’t we focus on helping the weak? 
Be a guide for nations that seek. 
Preach our message with care and love. 
However; man seems to prefer preaching with might. 
Whoever kills the most, surly is right. 

I pray to God, Vishnu, Allah and Yahweh too;
oh please teach your followers to stay true. 
To love thy neighbor, and enemy alike. 
To love your creation with all their might. 
Please I pray to you, save this world;
 because all that is left is you.
We have thrown all or our gifs away. 
Gone forever, under a pile of Hate. 

I do not accept that all people are bad. 
I do believe that a better world could be had. 
I pray we will no longer fight evil with might.
People will learn that understanding is right. 
I fear however; our time is neigh. 
Unless Christian, Jew, and Muslim are able to stand side by side.
