War, A Doctor's View

Synopsis: Bullets raining from the sky
Soldiers, in the trenches, waiting to die
At the end of it the survivors will be so few
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.
