War

Why do we fight,
My daddy says its to keep us safe,
But why fight when there is no need,
Or reason,
Or hope of everyone coming home,
Why shoot each other,
When we can just talk,
Why send off men
When they can stay home,
Some people say we need to fight,
Others say we can just talk,
Maybe instead we can help people,
People who die of hunger,
Who have no home,
Why can't we help people,
Instead of killing others.
