War Fair?

Trying to see beyond me to you Thinking about military surplus flashlights and Tanks filled with Jell-O or pudding Here is the truth Heaven forbidden that isn't shared Hell fire burns hotter on earth All us humans After a way to pursue our own happiness And forgetting to take care of each other Nothing matters Near the end Not selfish concerns or Kindling Kindness lives, but the Killing blow rarely comes from a Stranger's hands Strangling holds the personal touch Still wondering why the fight began
