A Paradox of War

People with powers used to conceive a war
As the simplest way of erasing any conflicts  
Covering various differences in people's ideas 
Beliefs right or wrong or lives dim or bright 

The truth is that wars will end in the life-killing 
Erasing people's lives and their valuable hopes 
For happy-go-lucky and rich-go-healthy living

If there is no more aliveness briskly walks 
What could upright the dignity, and freedom  
And how devil for having wars to gain all of them
