War

A Gallant Knight on a horse of white
As he gallops into Battle
He fears not for he hath vowed
To protect the King and Castle

The battles fraught with many dead
And many return blood stained
They return with night mares of
A war that left them maimed

They witnessed all the horrors
All the ugliness of war
And they prayed to God above.
There would never be no more

But mankind can not live
Without Wars it’s a must
We put our faith in our leaders
And it’s them that we trust

So all we can do is pray every day
That our leaders will do the right thing
That Peace & Love & Harmony and Joy
To this beautiful Earth they will bring.
