No More War

War brings peace
War causes strife to cease
These were the stories we were told when we were boys 
Causing us to behave like their toys
"We fight so that our children can have a better future, have our name written in history or even paste our picture"
These were our goals,these are what makes a man we were told
But now I know better
I now know that war is not a cure but a disease that eats up joy,peace and happiness and it won't stop eating because WAR BEGET WAR
Now we see our children being deceived like we were
But there is nothing we can do because we are the spirit of those who were also deceived long ago
Now we are in a different realm,a realm where the only words we hear from the radio is rest in peace
But how can we rest when the ones we love are not in one piece
All what is left for us to do is sing the song in our heart  hoping that one day u would hear echoes of of our voices singing NO MORE WAR!!!!!!
