WAR

We live in war
There is no peace
No one to meet
No one to greet
Friendship is worth
More than the earth
Lives are lost
At what cost?
We live in terror
In this error
No memorials of the lost
Who fought bravely at no cost
Our father’s father’s fought for our lives
Leaving behind their children and wives
So rest in peace
Now we can be free
