War for Peace
Mankind always finds a reason for war
In the quest to seige and is not fair
With discord for vengeance he craves
Armed he charges, he is making slaves
Then laments, mourns the devastations
Men are in graves due to destructions
The battles fought in vain for supremacy
Without understanding futility of felony
With so much bloodshed of soldiers
In the lucid light of grief, hands on holsters
The debris and the bodies are a warning
For humans, for the war to be denouncing
To respect the creator, let peace prevail
Like brothers live together without fail
