World War 3

Dark times once, dark time twice,
And now for a third time,
Air full of planes,
Hearts full of grime,
Marching off to war,
Countries combine,
Countries fight,
No peace treaty to sign,
Death toll rises,
Bombs drop,
No way to escape,
Will it ever stop?

I'm not an optimist anymore, I guess. WW3 will stop, though ---- when WW4 breaks out. Oy!
