War by Anonymous

1 min read

War O’ senseless war, pointless in its wake,

Soldiers fight and die for leaders’ blood thirst.

Millions will die; the world will now shake,

Because one man’s ego was at its worst.

Leaders lead and people die for nothing,

Why put our lives for another’s purpose?

Fight ourselves and divide: pushing, shoving,

Distract us, entertain us in this circus.

We are not in control of our countries,

We live and die by another’s red hand.

Fighting among ourselves O’ people please,

Live for peace, don't fight, do nothing but stand.

Our countries are just collections of us,

Our hope for peace is never treasonous.
