See how long it lasts, <br />How long people wait. <br />But haven’t people realised <br />They are fighting over nothing <br />People are always different, <br />Even twins, <br />Whether it be eyes, hair, appearance <br />Or personality. <br />But surely no one is actually <br />Stupid enough, to fight, a war <br />Because they want to. <br />Because they don’t appreciate <br />These differences. <br />Tell me they are mad, <br />Say it is not happening <br />But everyone knows <br />There is always a war.<br /><br />Josie Hartnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/see-how-long-it-lasts/
