Ode to Peace
there is no bravery in kill
or be killed
no heroism in fighting
someone else's fight
when all's said and done
no glory or fame awaits anyone
those who live
have also lost
or be killed
no heroism in fighting
someone else's fight
when all's said and done
no glory or fame awaits anyone
those who live
have also lost

Yes, I agree. And I suppose we'll never really learn from our past when it comes to this.

Totally true; the only 'winners' are the shareholders in companies that make weapons.
"those who live

... as sometimes also have their children and children's children.

Thank you for your comment, Josh. Nice to have met you here.
Also, you're sadly absolutely right...
All about the money.
