APROPOS OF LIFE, DEATH, WAR, AND PEACE

                  (A 2-4-2 SEXTET)

 

                    Peace...no,
                    bombs exploding;
                    it's war!

                    The wars
                    fought to get peace,
                    did not:-

                    Pooped bombs
                    swell graves' bellies;
                    death farts:-

                    The kids
                    feed wars each day;
                    death pleased:-

                    In wars,
                    only death wins;
                    peace can't:-

                    Love peace,
                    wars are evil;
                    crave life:-

Peace...no, bombs exploding; it's war! The wars fought to get peace, did not:- Pooped bombs swell graves' bellies; death farts:- The kids feed wars each day; death pleased:- In wars, only death wins; peace can't:- Love peace, wars are evil; crave life:-

Yes wars are evil but we humans cant seem to get enough of them. Well said. Wish we could love peace more.
