Why We Go To War

When those in power want more power,
They go after those who have less,
When avarice and greed become need,
Then evil turns everything into a mess.

Men go to war to take what others have,
While others fight to protect their lands,
Although it’s chaotic it’s also a drag,
Because it’s difficult to understand.

The rich send the poor to fight the wars,
See, it’s really a money making scheme,
For one day it may show up at your door,
And you’ll need to defend your dream.
