War is this….
War has its horrible consequences
Hostile soldiers fight with aggression
Upon the death stricken circumstances
War means death, destruction, and depression
War means red blood, barbed wire, big blasters
War means tanks, tin hats, trench foot and tracers
War means dumps, dug outs, and disasters
War means fatigue, flashy flares, and fakers
War means medical officers, and mills
War means sandbags, and shells, and suicide
War means waves, whiz-bangs, weapons, and war pills
War means corpses, causalities, and ruined countryside
The hostilities of war are sickening
The hostilities of war are frightening

I really hope people understand that we need to try to prevent war and all the other horrible stuff happening in the world today.
