Can Never be Undone

Woke up one morning 
I woke up with the Sun
Outside the birds were singing
A brand new day had begun

Through breakfast
The TV was playing
It was playing
Some carefree tunes

When the solitude
Of that quiet, sunny morning
Was shattered
By breaking news

Another conflict
Over troubled borders
Had darkened
So many innocent lives

Amid …
All of the destruction
All we see now
Are scenes of misery

What is … 
The purpose
What do … 
They ever achieve

For once it had begun
The atrocities come
And the horror
Can never be undone

Will the hatred obsessed
Be ever put to rest
Give peace a chance, half a chance
Extend an olive branch

Why can’t they get along
Know what they do is wrong
And at the root of all wars
Lies the carnage they cause

For although a war be won
All the heartache they have wrung
Has just begun
And never be undone
