Analysis of WAR
Pistols rifles cannons tanks
Bombs grenades and missles
All the means to kill a man
With all the bells and whistles
Hitler putin mao and ung
Just to name a few
Greed and power for domination
They stick together like glue
Nuclear Bombs and chemicals
Ways to erase mankind
What more we need to eradicate
And leave this world behind
Battle ships submarines Aircraft carriers
All nuclear warhead equipped
Bombers fighters and unmanned drones
Leaving towns and cities stripped
What can we do to end all war
Hold hands and cry for peace
Embrace your neighbors from other lands
And make the fighting cease
Why can't we all just get along
The way that God intended
Leave the hate and suffering behind
Without having to feel offended
