Well I Tried Fighting War

Well I tried fighting War: I killed and 'twas done; I went-on to fight myself-- I failed, but finally won... Now I tell all seeking Joy To settle dear-life's score: Lest you be lingering-about-- Should you find no more... Well, I tried living sound: I was pushed and scratched and tried; I went on to wage another War, I fought till all Hope died... Now I lie free here-- Free as never before In sound Peace and Happiness: Life and I--We've settled score...
