'' The Futility Of War ''

Whenever a war is imminent,
arms dealers will all agree,
fighting is good for their wallets,
they will rub their hands with glee.

Regardless of who is right or wrong,
you must make yourself aware,
these people are unscrupulous,
as for life they just don't care.

The most intelligent species on Earth,
build weapons of mass destruction,
all made to destroy the human race,
to cause our world disruption.

What kind of mind would think of this,
it's so evil and it's cruel,
to kill a million in one go,
you'd have to be a ghoul.

War is not a game you play,
it's fighting and it's real,
war is not what movies portray,
the pain and hurt you feel.

In Holywood when you get shot,
it puts you on a high,
in war it is quite different,
when shot you'll surely die.

In movies bombs can land on you,
chances are you will survive,
the truth is really quite different,
you'll no longer be alive.

We give our lives for liberty,
yet our task's to kill,
no-one kills for glory,
we do not have the will.

War is never glamorous,
it will make you face your fears,
when you see the carnage,
it makes you shed real tears.

Wars are fought for ‘'freedom''
it isn't just a game,
there will be death and wounding,
there never will be fame.

To kill a fellow human being,
can drive a person mad,
to watch another dying,
now that is really sad.

Wars the world over,
are really all the same,
the objective of the fighting,
is to kill and maim.

What makes us kill our ‘'enemies''
who says we are right,
it's our political superiors,
who will never need to fight.

When people fight and die in wars,
there really are no winners,
Politicians are to blame,
they are all this worlds sinners.

When they can't agree a peace,
they shout out up and over,
but go into a war zone,
it's far away they'll hover.

They really need to grasp the truth,
what do these wars acheive,
if the human race is civilised,
why force ourselves to grieve.

We need all our world leaders,
to achieve a lasting peace,
if they did then all our lives,
could take on a whole new lease.

Maybe then the world over,
we could all live as one,
exist as humans ought to do,
enjoy life without the gun.

Imagine life without the need,
to kill a fellow being,
if we could all aspire to this,
then we'd become all seeing.

A life without us fighting,
can become our way of life,
by trusting one another,
we can live without any strife.

Maybe some day in the future,
a message we can send,
is wars the world over,
have finally come to an end.

There are no winners in conflict,
it's something we should all abhor,
millions of needless deaths show us all,
