OLD SCORES THEY SETTLE

They battle on and show no shame 
The other side must take the blame. 
And each side thinks that it can win 
Punishing others for past sin.
Increase the suffering more and more.
Kill and maim to settle the score.
Year upon year of attrition, 
A desperate situation. 
For more weapons each side must pay 
Then economies in decay.
The other side must take the blame.
They battle on and show no shame .
