War

War what a terrible word

Makes adults hide and children cry

When fear and rage take over the world

When the earth crys out 

From the horror it has seen 

Of hope we are without 

From the fatherless child

To the widow

None ever to smile

When you see a man in a army suit

Don't judge, just remember 

They risk their life for you

War is such a terrine thing and its a hard issue to approach.
We disdain war and everything that accompanies it but at the same time we are grateful for the troops who risk their lives to protect us.
Such a love hate relationship.
You summed it up well.
Nice work.
