A Lie

I have never been in an army and trained to use a gun Though i am one who does like to lay in the sun And expose my body to supposedly deadly violet ray Few sun lovers live to die old as some are known to say My name for bravery will never be on any memorial wall Though to me this does not matter the least bit at all I just wish to live as contented make the most of every day Life is what you make of it is only true to say It is out of dead war heroes young war heroes are made Their sense of patriotism inspired in every war street parade For religion, borders and cultures young people go to war and die The long gone war that was supposed to end all wars was based on a lie In far too many people the us against they mentality does remain strong To such a way of thinking i refuse to belong Those who follow the thinking of live and let live do appeal more to me Since they do far more for World harmony Than the flag waving patriots and nationalists at the war street parade Where of long dead war heroes young war heroes are made It is partly because of their sort more people in acts of terrorism and wars do die The long gone war that was supposed to end all wars was based on a lie.
