How can peace be obtained through violence
When violence is what repels peace?
“Violence is not the answer,” they say
But what is the answer
Why isn’t it heard
Why do we try to obtain it with violence?
War- “the event of violence to excuse inhumanity and murder”
To what extent can humans withstand war-
Is it when they
Turn on the TV and see recent reports on the war
Read magazines and newspapers about soldiers that have not survived
Hear about a funeral for a lieutenant
Or
Answer the door to two captains, dressed in full uniform, handing you a dog tag
You feel the cold metal rush through your body as though death was circling in the chain and waiting to enter your heart and mind
What is the price they are willing to pay
When will it be enough-
Fifty thousand, one million, ten million
How many men must die before peace is gained?
What is their definition of peace?
How can they believe that men have to die in order to achieve peace-
When peace cannot be achieved through violence, but living in
Serenity and
Unification and
Love.

I like what you're saying, but you need to work on the rhythm. Read it out loud and change the phrasing until is sounds smooth.
You may want question marks after all your questions rather than just at the end of a stanza.
This stanza would be more powerful with specifics. You can look them up online.
