War

It was the year of 39,
and for a lot of people it was such a bad time,
for in that year blood was shed,
and a lot of people ended up dead,

For in this time of trouble and strife,
a lot of people have suffered through life,
to hear the planes,
and see the bombs,
and hear the guns keep rattling on,

No-one could stop the war for going on,
even though it went on much to long,
they would have loved to see it come to an end,
but then again it all depends,

People would have loved to stop the men with the gun,
and go back to having some good old fun,
no more death and no more fight,
let the people of the world see the light,

To see people suffer so much pain,
its a shame we could not start life all over again,
the people who start this trouble and strife,
without a doubt should pay with their life
