War

Vile, Violent, Vicious, Ambitious,
Making a nation less auspicious,
Death, Desolation, Destruction and Blood,
Lice, mice, disease and mud,
Driving and thriving,
Suffering pain,
Wounded and trapped,
In no mans lands plains,
Life without what we call necessities,
With dog tags and rifles the new trending accessories,
If only it were possible to take back what was lost,
In the heat of Iraq or in the bight of the frost,
The earth is a boat destined to sink,
But take some time to think,
The changes in this world won’t happen in Iran,
They will happen everywhere in the city and on farms,
But at the end of the day if you ask your self who,
Before going to help others you must help you,
