World War Ii

When I was a wee lad of five The second world war had just begun! What a world to wake up to Was this how it was supposed to be A normal introduction to planet earth Soon realized this was not normal The broadcasts on the radio Referred to it as something deadly Not the way things were supposed to be The world can't possibly be this bad Guess I had it all wrong Had a more positive opinion of planet earth No matter how many million died
