WAR, What Is It Good For?

Living Intelligently From Experience

A Path in the Lives and Experiences of People

as they affect many, taken from

lives past, lives now and lives that will be

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?
