Cold War

You spiked my drink, I poisoned thine. You pulled a dagger, I swung a halberd. You threw a grenade And I threw a bomb. This might have been a story between Russia and the United States But is it a story of you and me? Is it the story of Democrat and Republican? Is it the story of Christian vs Atheist? What if: You spiked my drink, I simply gave you water. You pulled a dagger, I gave you a teddy bear. You threw a grenade I baked a pie! There are decisions to make when we don’t agree, One path leads to war, One path leads peace.
