Analysis of War

Bryan Williams 1987 (Santa Barbara, CA.)



War is my name
War is my game
War is not the same
War don’t be afraid
War go insane
War no more pain
War it’s a good thing
War is what war brings
War is my thing
War when angels sing
War what the devil brings
War with the prince of peace
War for the future
War for the human race
War is words in red
War in outer space
War in the afterlife
War in death
War just in case
