War.... Peace... And Life!

Oh my darling don’t be scared,

It’s all going to be over pretty soon.

The bombing is going to stop,

The firing is going to end,

When we are all dead, it’s going to end!

Don’t you close thy eyes,

Let them see the world as it is,

For there is not going to be any tomorrow.

Don’t you shut thy ears,

Let them hear the firing of the guns.

Oh my darling don’t be scared,

It’s all going to be over pretty soon.

All of humanity never learned from their past,

Wars to cover their dark deeds,

Wars in the name of peace!

Death, misery and darkness comes with the blast,

Wonder how long they are all going to last!

Oh my darling don’t be scared,

It’s all going to be over pretty soon.

I wrote this as I sat wondering about the never ending wars being fought around the world... Is this the future we are going to gift to the children of tomorrow~
