War

Shooting here,
Shooting there,
No lives a-spare,
Eyes are shut,
But they have the gut,
To shut someone up,
Nuclear weapons of obliteration,
For complete annihilation,
Many around in refugee camps,
With nothing more than food and lamps,
Violence is terrible,
And also unbearable,
Shooting here,
Shooting there,
No lives a-spare
