War does not only cause death
the mutilation of young male bodies
torn apart sacrificed to causes political wars
the mutilation of civilians
the old young babies
men women children
destruction of property homes
hospitals infrastructure essential
energy clean water supplies
war is a curse
inflicted upon conflict
war torn countries
a civilized world
would not fund
wars with 80 billion
90 billion pledged
yearly for a single war
agenda priority war
war would be outlawed
resources spent on improving lives
for all people all countries
for all citizens of this world
if people really cared
about peace loved peace
hated war
despised war
outlawed war
Ukraine would
already be at peace
enjoying peace
a few farmers in fields growing wheat
instead of soldiers living in trenches
living in bunkers fighting dying in war
war does not only cause death pain scary
the destruction of freedom lives property
it causes suffering food shortages poverty
