War and Peace

War & Peace We agree most of the time war is caused By capitalism, nationalism, in fact, any isms Demagogues and murky propaganda These entities can`t fight wars without soldiers And there are too many young men who Simply love the idea of wearing arms and fight They go to war the survivors are veterans They know now they have fought for nothing In despair, they take to drink and drug and sink To the bottom of the human heap Aldous Huxley spoke of something in the water That takes the aggression away….Good! Only one has to be careful not making them into Zombies with no ambition to the point the world Disappear in the morass of apathy. We can`t stop wars happening but we can try to Prolong peace and make wars more infrequent.
