WHY DO WE NEED WAR?
Our country remembers our fallen hero’s
Just one day a year
Then we go about our daily lives never again thinking
About their pain or fear
About the families they left behind or the dangers
They faced ahead
We go about each day and never think about the
Thousands that was wounded or dead.
How often do we remember the ones
from the years before?
How many times must soldiers suffer and die
Before we cry “No more war!”
Why must war be the answer for political or
Economic concern
With thousands lost before in Korea and Vietnam,
When will we learn!
Now thousands more are wounded and dead in a
Country called Iraq
How many more must be sent to war, never
To come back!
They say time heals all wounds, or at least
Allows us to loose sight
Of all of the thousands that we lost before in every
Previous fight!
So over and over we do it again, as each generation
Answers the call
Think of every generation’s sacrifice then question why
There has to be war at all!
