War

Will there be a World war three, maybe
Wish all the power men would stop being cry babies
Talking is the only way to stop this fight
Ranting through the TV’s just isn’t right

Every day something new
More bad news to look through
People in their homes frightened for their lives
While the power men give each other high fives

We as a people need to stand tall
Tell the power men what they can do with their “walls”
We need to cancel this TV show
And watch them destroy all of their ammo

Once and for all please stop these childish games
Stop pointing fingers, you are all to blame
Sit around the table and reason with sense
Instead of standing there with your guns on the offense
