Here We Go Again

In Asia the missiles are tested and primed, a fleet from the west prowls the straits, two Governments roar and both threaten what for, the world quietly watches and waits. Another year over, a new one begins, we age and they come round so soon, at the toll of the bell we all huddle outside in the light of the unblinking moon. And what must that moon think as it passes each night of this rock that it's known all it's life where we scurry like ants yet behave like the Gods with our weapons of war and our strife? We're born and we die in the blink of an eye we all make our small mark then we're gone, We're all stuck on this planet and cannot get off so why can't we all just get on?
