The War Years of My Youth
As a young lad during the war years
Exciting as a battle game in a far off land
My only real contact was
What I heard on the news broadcasts
Which I was intrigued and thrilled by
Not realizing that real people
Were being killed in war liked situations
No matter how it was decribed
It was a disaster to the whole world
With millions upon millions being killed
But to me it was still a game of us against them
To a young lad of between 4 to 10
It was the ultimate game of life
