War is senseless -
War destroys
War kills
And yet

Meaningless though it is
Like the fight of small kids
It persists.

The only difference is:
Children do not have malice
They forgive
They forget
They bond again
And continue with their games
But -

War is a deadly game
That destroys mercilessly
And it is the innocent who suffer most
And -

Man's greed is so intense-
For power, for land, and for pelf
That he will indulge in wars
Keeping common sense on the shelf.
