WAR

by John (Mr. Whuppy)   Aug 16, 2006


The wars are still around us
Soldiers fight on soil
Is it just religion
or is it all for oil

Tanks and guns are firing
weapons glow red hot
innocent people dying
little children shot

Israel invades Lebanon
fighting terror they say
I just don't believe it
so to all gods I pray

that man will soon see reason
and there will come a day
when those in power do answer
and to the people say

We just made terror an excuse
to fight for our own greed
It's oil and land we are after
to satisfy our need

So come the day of judgment
Will they be judged true
did they fight for justice
for those like me and you

did they fight for justice
for innocents to save
or did they fight for possession
for the things they crave

only they can answer
only they can know
we make our own judgments
they will have to show

will they all be innocent
are they squeaky clean
these worldly men that lead us
the truth will soon be seen
