Cost of Conflict; Payment of Peace

Peace comes at a price

Love is tantamount to war

Soldiers are paid with lies

And the families with scars

Tidal waves of bloodshed

Drowning under cold ashes

Children with bullet wings

Hoping that the pain passes

Cost of a worldwide unity

Crippling the very society

Nothing but anaemic irony

Applause for our humanity!

But buried under the money

Under the riches and honey

Is a pure faith for everybody

A better life and community

Where rivers aren't tainted

The sky's free of nuclear rain

Where children can rejoice

Without worrying about pain

Peace comes with a price

Love is equal to harmony

Soldiers paid satisfaction

And a gregarious country

Peace, it's an expensive game

Dictated in each of our names

If it prevails as a singular truth

Then it will be all for its worth.
