Say No To War

say no 
say no to war
how pity it is 
to see young innocent children
innocent of the evils of this world
crying for their dead mothers and fathers
with no promise to the future
for religious and political
falsehood causing disaster


the poor always has to fight
in other to see the sunlight
but the optimum principle 
is to do right


for life has turn to war
no that guns are sore
and words are pure
for that am sure
but who cares
love they abhor
materialism they adore


prevention they say
is better than cure
so say no
say no to war
like told before



a godly tree provides a good shelter
and it fruits satisfies hunger
why not live in peace and harmony
so that we all will be 
free and happy
