War

Conflict, killing, death and destruction Fiery clouds like volcanic eruptions Sweeping across as if winds from hell Oblivious of the cries or the tolling of bells Ravaging, raping, mother earth Humanity forgotten, savagery first Old and young, turning lives into dust Wombs with unborn, just victims of lust The lust for power, oh wealth and all No value of life, just riches the goal Senseless and absurd, this drive insane Men of intellect causing so much pain Why, oh why is it so very hard For the power hungry men who hold the cards To comprehend, to understand, the futility of war Just a short term win, showing future the door In wars, there's never a winner at all Just a loser subdued, as a nation falls While the aggressor struggles just licking the wounds Conjuring up stories explaining the countless tombs Oh to tell an orphan why the state is such Why his father and mother were just blown to dust Or a defenceless couple with burdens to carry That the apple of their eye is but a distant memory Feeling heavy, I look around with a weeping heart For a solitary reason why we play this part No winners just losers, innocent casualties untold War is God's clear sign we have lost all control
