The war is closing in
What do I do now
Where do I go
Where when and how
Bombs go off behind
In front and to the side
People flee to shelters
I must fight -no time to hide
What shall I do
I have a family to protect
I love them so much
I don't want to leave them- not yet
We are teaching our children
Teaching anger and violence
Surely we should be kind
Give them needed guidance
So I'm going to propose something
An idea that sounds preposterous to some
That we end all these wars
That we stop being so dumb!
