Winning battles but losing the war

We’re fighting a losing war,
Against ignorance and deceit,
Our schools are riddled with lies,
And our homes are trashed by conceit.

Where will we be safe?
When victors claim our lives,
They claim it because we fought,
For the safe future and abode.

Where have we gone wrong?
Why are the children led astray?
What do we have to do?
To make things right again…
