War Games

The injustice of war

Weapons primed and ready;

Round the troops and sound the sirens.
Snipers, hold your rifle steady
It's the battle of the irons.

Pride and Hatred take a stance.
Violence crouching - taking aim
Doesn't take a second glance
before he fires across the plane.

A victim lies helpless on the street.
Shot down in violent fashion.
Pleading peace in her defeat.
Her name is Compassion.
 

A plea for peace
