What about now

What has the world turned into, Look at the world right now. The world has turned into a battle ground, Don't get me wrong there's normally reasons for war but why do they use war as an option. There's war everywhere and its changing the world not for the better but for the worst. Its an devastating option and it's killing people and changing there family and friends lives. Also what about the Africans dying from illnesses cause they can't afford doctors or proper food to eat. When are we going to change how we think about the way people live and when are we going to look out for others not just friends but people all over the world.

There might not be war in New Zealand right now but kiwis are paying the price of war, Death! In Afghanistan 2 kiwi soldiers died, why did they die that's right, war. War is killing people not just soldiers but normal people have lost there lives by war they had nothing to with. War is destroying the land there fighting on not just the grass but the buildings that have been blown up. Because of the building getting blown up, the people that live in that city has to move houses and will lose a lot of money and might not ever see there neighbours and friends again. so now tell me why do the use war to sort something out to have something. A lot of my family I didn't see cause they died for there country in the war.





Imagine not being able to eat every day, well what your imagining is what some families have to put up with. A lot of families in Africa can't avoid food for there families, so the only way to get food is to beg on the street or starve. Also in Africa there's not much clean water to drink so a lot of people get sick from the water. and if they can't afford food no way they will be able to pay for medical help. more than 2,500 kids each day die from not being able to drink clean water. In Botswana there average life span is only 56 years of age in New Zealand its 78 years of age. they don't to get to have a life in Botswana, we get 22 more years than them and we don't even think about helping them have a future.
Imagine whats it like to be in the middle of war and imagine whats it like to only live up to 55 years of age.When are we going to change the world and help the people that need help?What about now? why don't you change the world for the better now? lets put the end to war and to poverty and unite the world as one. lets show our love for the world and make a change!

  1. Hi Dylan,
    The sentiment of your post really rings true with me. I struggle with understanding the concept of war and wonder why these people can't have a sit down and a talk. It's frustrating!
    What are some more subtle solutions you can think of?

  2. Hi Dylan
    I agree with Mrs Clarke - the futility of war is frustrating! I can see the emotional connection you have to these topics, and look forward to reading more about the things you are passionate about!
