Nobody Wins

you gave your child a toy taught your child to love stole the child's toy blamed other country's You taught your child to hate The child grew up became a soldier died crippled in the war You blame other country's yet who taught the child to hate you did not win your child suffered from your anger Allied nations return anger Karma the building blocks of hatred your children killed people nations turned against you Your taught your children to hate now the people suffer billions of dollars wasted on war nobody wins the cost is just to great money wasted on war takes away the jobs of the people unemployment suffering and death nobody wins from the wars A thousand years ago Saladin fought with a king King Richard the lion hearted back home in England King John taxed the people to pay for the cost of the war the people turned on him and stole the power of the king Forced him to sign the Magna Carte created Governments The King lost control of his Kingdom for the cost of his war Ask the people who fought ask the people who lost friends ask the mothers who lost children Nobody wins from the war's
