Where's the love for humanity??

Turn on the news, it's another suicide bombing
So much killing, children dying
Their only offence was being born into this world
Genocide everywhere till no one is left living
In the middle-East is another Holocaust
Terrorism they claim but the west did the most

Are you practicing what you preach?
So much peace treaty papers, yet so little peace
So much wedding ceremonies, yet to little bliss
No love anywhere, Humanity is falling into a ditch

On the sit of power they merry
The demonic animals in suit and tie
Dividing us all with political propagandas
Increasing poverty while promoting evil agendas
Sets of maladroit cunning beings I refused to call humans

Hey! Men in uniform
Trained zombies sent to the battle front
Takes whatever order without questioning
I wonder what you do it for
For medals? Or for the love of your country
Maybe for the love of the guns you use in killing.

Segregated by our skin colours and mother tongue
Barricaded borders over lands that weren't yours
One little tresspassing are the excuses behind the wars
Same land you die and get buried upon.

Religious beliefs separated us
A religion of peace becomes a weapon of mass destruction
Religious leaders are the devil's incarnation
At the pulpit performing Voodoos in the name of miracles
Flipping the scriptures only to extort the masses of their incomes

The love of money killed the love for humanity
Just maybe I'm wrong
Can someone tell me; where is the love?

#NOTES

Hi guys, its day 33 of the 100 days of poetry challenge by @d-pend. Today's entry is centered on the ills and choas going on all around the world.
Although I'm not a fan of watching the television but tunning into Al-Jazeera this morning. All i could see was the war happening in Syria, yemen and many other countries. The children most times are the victim of this war and also victims of the aftermath. It hurts to see this happening. It's inhumane, it's disheartening. Watching this brought tears to my eyes and inspired this poem.
