Dangers

I don't really like being at war.
It's getting to be sort of a bore.
People will lie.
People will die.
It's almost like closing life's door.

I feel the same way about life.
I think there should be little strife.
It makes you quite sad,
Not to mention mad,
As if you've been pierced by a knife.

You've listened to all I've said.
It makes you feel like lead.
So please be aware
Of the dangers out there,
Or you could end up dead.
