War is probably wrong

In order to get my point across I've decided to write a poem about war. I hope it helps to open up your minds to the truth that has been hidden from you for so many years.

It's called:
Hope

When there are two countries who hate each others.
They declare a war and kill babies and mothers.
But is it right to kill these babies?
Especially the ones who don't have rabies.

What have these babies done to deserve this?
They just lie in their cribs and smell like piss.
I'm aware that some babies cry more than others.
But it's still not right to kill sisters and brothers.

I realise that war takes place in many poor places?
But sometimes rich people holiday there and they blow up their faces.
It's not fair that these rich people should have to die.
Their families will be sad and insurance companies will ask why.

But it's not only the rich who suffer in war.
There are hundreds of films made that are quite a bore.
Some of them are really cool with bombs and shit.
But many others are boring and get on my tit.

We forget so quickly that soldiers have family and friends.
Their grief continues after their life ends.
I watched a documentary about a soldier who was killed.
His family were sad, in fact they weren't thrilled.

So at the end of the day, is war right?
Should we invade countries and force them to fight?
Or should we just ask them to give us their money.
Especially if it means saving a baby and its mummy.


Please take a few minutes to think over these words.

Thank you.
