War Machine - No Profit In Peace.
Conflict tears, bloodshed
Awash upon my screen
They always try to justify
Such slaughter's just obscene
But ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die
The war machine rolls on
No time to be at ease
The destruction is relentless
There's no profit in peace
But ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die
Warbird, death's head
Arm and release
Heaven sent, Hellbent
There's no profit in peace
But ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die
Load up, line up
Fire and repeat
Shelled to their knees
There's no profit in peace
But ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die
Selected soft targets
So the innocents bleed
Cull the people explosion
There's no profit in peace
War machine destroying lives
Can any on the Earth survive?
But ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die

The repeating line "There is no profit in peace" really sums up this poem. Good work. I would, however, really like to hear you reciting it! A free program to use to record is audacity, pretty simple to use. Overall, wonderful job! Hope to see more out of you :)!
