No More War

N    o more soldiers coming home in boxes
O    ver grandiose visions of arrogant leaders 

M    en and women dying in the prime of life
O    n foreign soil, far from family and loved ones
R    isking life and limb for some abstract principle
E    ntering Heaven prematurely, Earthly wings clipped

W   rite your Congressmen, your Senators, the President
A    nd tell them we're tired of being the world's policeman
R    est not easy 'til Peace, lasting Peace, reigns supreme
