The people shout and wave their flags
to war to war they cry
they give no thought to the tragedy
to the many innocents that die
a baby dead in his mothers arms
tears streaming down her face
first her husband now her child
but its not your life displaced
bodies laying in streets
the soil soaked crimson stained
for yesterday from the sky above
the missles heavily rained
Bomb ravaged villages
whole towns blown to dust
does this have to happen
to the greedy yes it must
But tell me who will cry for you
who will give a crap
when one day it is your town
that is blown clean off the map
Who is going to comfort you
when death isn't across the globe
but right in the very neighborhood
that you have lovingly called home
war is not the answer
indeed it never was
all we want is peace
but no one listens to us
we are just the puppets
the masters pull the strings
if its war that they want
they'll get that very thing
who are we to question them
that is what they think
perhaps we will wish we had done more
when its we that are on the brink....

Sometimes war fix things and teach us things...
