WORLD WITHOUT WAR
WORLD WITHOUT WAR
Most think that war is a male thing
A sign of aggression for dominance
But takes so many fathers and sons
Whether by spears, bombs or guns
Yet survival is often by providence
Counting the cost victory can bring
Yet few recognise the female force
Whether it is spite or a bitter feud
The ongoing raging of marital strife
Or between a mistress and the wife
When competition comes unglued
There will be all out war, of course
Does war hide deep in every soul
And will conflicts grow ever bigger
History tells us peace isn’t forever
With ties that are so easy to sever
All it takes is squeezing the trigger
Yet a world without war is the goal
