War, A Doctor's View

Synopsis: Bullets raining from the sky
Soldiers, in the trenches, waiting to die.
Diseases flowing everywhere, including in you
This is war through a doctor’s view.

Causes: Disagreements between leaders,
Kings, Queens or Prime Ministers,
They say it’s because of other countries’ badness,
But really it only causes our sadness.

Symptoms: Destruction of countries that are smaller and weaker
They say it will end the war, but really it only makes our future bleaker.
But the main symptoms are death and despair,
Which now seems to be everywhere.

Side–Effects: Death, fire and sadness,
All because of random acts of madness.

Cure: There is only one from the leaders not caring whose life they dismiss
Which is peace, pure bliss.
