Vanity of War

I can't understand this War
And how it seems to grow'
Who understands the " Law'
I wish I truly knew .
There is no honor in dying,
In killing or being killed
Because there is no denying
That someone gets a " Cheap thrill"
Sitting on chair a alone
And acting just like a king,
You can't solve the problems of " War'
By acting like ' Ho chi ming .
War is death, to soldier's involved,
And to their families too,
When a loved one, dies in vain'
And families share, in each other's pain .
Let's pray for peace, for all of us ,
By joining hands together 
Wishing the "World ' eternal peace,
With time to enjoy each other .
