"i Am War, Here Me Roar

I am a war I hold the friend and the enemy The people who want to be there and the ones who do not Yes these too are mine I am war. I keep the wounded, the dead, and the healthy I am the letters from family wondering when loved ones will return I control the souls as well, I am war. The bombs, missiles, and other weapons are released upon my command I do not discriminate between the innocent and the guilty I am war. My only enemy is peace is unity And that is what makes me war I am compassionate and also callous I am war. I crave the beginning and pray it never ends I am war. I am ruthless and unforgiving I am war.
