WAR
War, a thing of blood, hate and death
The glory and pain loss and sacrifice
The clash of nations, tribes and people
Lives lost, money wasted on endless disputes
Religion, land, money and spite whatever the reason
War has always ravaged our land and may always into the future
Depleting our resources, taking our people, destroying our lives
Utter destruction and terror has plagued our green earth
Since the beginning of Civilization
War isn’t an interruption of Peace; Peace is an interruption of War
War has many things pain, hate, blood and anger
The effects of war are felt for years and some for a lifetime
No matter what period in human history war is one thing that has always been there and may forever be.
