War
WHAT IS A WAR MY FRIEND,
WILL IT CAUSE THE WORLD TO END?
IT IS THE FAULT OF THE CRAZY PEOPLE WHO DO ACT,
WITH WAR NOT VERBAL TACT.
THE CREATORS OF WAR, I WILL NAME BUT A FEW,
NAPOLEON, STALIN, AND HITLER TOO.
THEY SAT BACK AND WATCHED THE PEOPLE FIGHT,
BLOOD AND GUTS, OH! WHAT A SIGHT.
THE LOSS OF MANY INNOCENT LIVES,
THE MOURNING OF MANY MOTHERS AND WIVES.
THE LOSS OF PROPERTY AND THE LOSS OF LAND,
OH GOD! WHERE DO I LOOK, WHERE DO I STAND.
DO I TAKE PART IN THIS BLOODY WAR?
WHAT IS ALL THIS FIGHTING FOR?
NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE,
ESPECIALLY THE RICH WHO ARE NOW POOR.
WAR- AN EVIL DEED,
ARMIES GATHERED WITH HASTE AND SPEED.
THE MONEYS SPENT ON WAR COULD FEED,
COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED.
SO HEED MY WARNING MY FRIENDS AND FOES,
HEED NOT THE MADMEN WHOSE TRUMPET BLOWS.
SO HOLD YOUR RIGHT HAND IN FRONT OF YOU,
AND SHAKE YOUR OPPONENTS HAND BE HE CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM,
HINDU, OR JEW.
