WAR
So many wars throughout the ages
So many of us have perished
Must man war to vent his rages?
Is killing what is cherished?
Our history of waging war
This curse we’ve run afoul of
Is so ingrained in human lore
Is nothing to be proud of
War’s an aberration
A blight on all humanity
A true abomination
Derived from man’s insanity
War wreaks pain and sorrow
As it takes its deadly toll
Can’t we on the morrow
Stop this slaughter of man’s soul?
