Hey That's My Baloon

I'm making an observation Bout the state of the world today This is what I've come up with In my own inimitable way Maybe it's cuz I'm an old guy It seems there's much more strife There doesn't seem, like years ago As much laughter in everyone's life I know there'll always be conflict Somewhere around the world This nation or that one gets aggressive Controversy begins to swirl Then one country threatens the other Military action follows soon We're like a bunch of nasty children Yelling, “Hey that's my balloon!” Seems like there isn't a cure for this But there's always hope I guess That mankind will see the utter futility And realize it doesn't make any sense!
