Goes On

War and Devastation
it goes on
when we don't know it
It goes on in the houses of broken families
it goes on in the streets of every city
It goes on in the courts
Even in the mind of a young depressed teenager
who hates her life and doesn't know where to turn
it goes on in the offices
and in the countries
some are left helpless and alone
some win and conquer
but life goes on
no one hears the silent screams
that echo the walls at night
no one hears the cry for help
or the blind man begging on the road
life goes on

life goes on leaving some to die
and others to live happy full lives

Its senseless
to think its over
when it has just begun
its senseless
to think that no one else will die
but they are foolish
self-centered
its never over
it always goes on
never stopping
leaving destruction wherever it goes
no matter what
it goes on
