War

Do we need war?
Please tell me this.
One world divided into dots from space;
Me, I would rather give it a miss,
I'd much rather play tennis and hit an ace.
Why destroy the world?
Please tell me this.
Useless pieces of metal fired at one's will,
filled with chemicals that do no good,
Unknown the people whom it will kill.
Who needs war?
Who needs war?
We don't need it at all!
