The Futility of War
Conflict between nations
Is totally insane.
Everyone is a loser;
Nobody ever gains.
Cities annihilated,
Innocent lives are lost.
Economies in disarray;
Immense human cost.
Death knows no religion;
Tragedy knows no race.
Politicians play their games,
Cynicism on their face.
Let us stop senseless bloodshed.
Let us find a way ahead.
God save the human race!
