The Futility of War

We live in a world that yearns for war
We hear words of evil loud and clear
Day after day a barrage of hate
That we should all fear


The world is in turmoil
We see fields of sorrow, rivers of pain
Dances of conflict fill the floor
For us all it’s a relentless strain


Can the embers of war cease to burn
Why do we seek roads that lead to strife
Can’t we plant seeds of peace
And build a world where love is rife.
