War.
When we go to war,
Because of our want for more,
Not because there is a need,
But fueled by rabid greed,
Choking a love creed,
When a good war is maimed by avarice,
Fought with cowardice,
Sheer force is glorified,
Inhumanity magnified,
Peace is dethroned,
And violence enthroned,
The global village imperiled.
