What is war? What is life?

Do we hit our brothers out of strife?

The days of peace we speak in whispers,

While with guns we march and blow people to pieces!!

Shooting and bombing- Is that all we know?!

With bombarding planes smiting our foes!

What do we do when our children are next? Flying to war awaiting death.

Is that all we know?
