False Armistice

 

There must be war to end a war,

if there's no war

what is end for?

 

While there's no war there is no end,

if there's no end

no help we'll send.

 

The end of war is made of rules,

the kind of rules

for blinkered fools.

 

Made up by those who all agree,

the end of war

can never be.

We're all animals David and there will always be those who want what they haven't got or that which others have!
I watched the first episode of 'Kingdom' on the BBC the other night. Summed us up perfectly
