Endless Conflict

 

They are at it again

as we gaze upon the slain

War has once more visited us

and infiltrates itself amongst us

A new dictator emerges

an insidious power surges

Men argue and grapple for power

and take up arms in the tower

Generals say this way follow me

and so the troops do and so will we

Fear and ignorance sieze control

and in man's heart does ache his soul

What is to be achieved when all said and done?

nothing is the answer under the sun

Save countless dead and lives lost

as some bugler plays the last post

Will we ever learn the futility of war?

and raise our voices and say no more

If not we are doomed for more of the same

and all for some cause or a dictator's name

Justice and peace are our bread and butter

not the sound of machine guns which stutter

As we turn our backs on our creator

we pave the way for another dictator
