The war is over
But let's not rush:
To celebrate our winnings.
Think of the loss and suffering humanity has caused
To humans, creatures and even a horse.
We fought for ourselves, not for our planet
To save our country and not anybody else's safety.
We put lives at risks and lost too many
Now families pay for our actions
That caused loss, suffering and pain.
Pain that wears on for lifetimes to come.
Now the war is over let's not hesitate,
Let's get on with life and our mandate.
