Why War Poem by Dorsey Baker

Why do you want to start a war
With me my friend
Because war
It's nothing but pain
And misery to gain
Why you want to
Start a war with me
My friend
Why do you want the weight
Of that big ball and chain

Why do you want to
Start a war with me my friend
Because so many bullets
They will fly
And so many bombs
They will fall
Why do you want to
Start a war with me my friend
Why do you want to
Kill us all

Why do you want to
Start a war with me my friend
When you might
Become its victim
Just as well as me
Why do you want to
Start a war with me my friend
Why are you
So determined
My enemy to be!
