WAR,
What Is It Good For? With All Respect, Aggressors don’t get it yet, Retaliating to political
wrongs; Wrecking Any Residence that remotely
belongs Has unfair balance, an
inappropriate measure And Wicked Angry Rivals seem to take great
pleasure. They fight Wrongs And Rights with similar mayhem In many countries they fight
folk who were once one of them Some Wielding Assault Rifles with no fear in their
eyes In others there is an
expression of certain demise They leave as if saying We Aren’t Returning Got no plans for seeing a
brighter morning Or with some thwarted
spirituality and honorable misguide On their faces they say
they’ll see us Where
Angels Reside Destruction comes to the
world When
Armies Revolt Families obliterated as fast
as a lightning bolt Our Nations still battle for
power and to proclaim who’s best Rivalry continues globally,
when can we see East and, West At Rest? |
