Tired Of War Poem by Randy McClave

To GOD we thank him for giving us peace,
The mothers and the fathers pray it will never cease,
To enter any war I hope it not to happen ever again,
Where we lose our children and our young women and men.

Our leaders they fight wars with both papers and pen,
But we are the ones to suffer again and again,
I hope no longer to see an innocent soldier die,
Nor do I want to hear the sadden children and parents cry.

The grass is green and the ocean it is blue,
They are the color of peace while red is the color of war that is true,
I am sick of all politicians and their constant lying,
I am tired of the soldiers and the innocent dying.

Our flag I wish not to see it ever again flown at half mast,
At the graveyard I hope not to hear the bugler playing taps,
I am so sick and tired about hearing about the glory of war,
I pray to GOD for peace and I wish to not to hear it anymore.

Broken fences and cracked walls they are easy to mend,
Sadly though it’s easier to make enemies than it is to make a friend,
I wish from war not to take my final breath,
And I wish for no agony to come to me upon my death.
