War

War is an ugly word 
To many deaths it’s so absurd
Fighting over lives that are not our own
We need to preach the love we were once shown 
War is an ugly word 
It rips people apart 
Do these people honestly know their true reasons to start
War is an ugly word 
Stop killing us, it's not fair 
It’s time to get on, stop being assholes and learn how to share

USA education budget for 2021 was only $73.5 compared to a military budget ten times that amount, because Congress believes it is more important to kill than to learn how to share? Aloha!

Wow! That says it all really! Our prime Minister would rather line his own pockets and other government members pockets than put money anywhere! We live in a very tragic time!
