One Too Many

From the mistakes of the past we have not learned and war again it is being waged today And in any war there never is a winner and for every war there is some price to pay And everyone who dies in war is one too many whether it be soldier or civilian is the one to fall It should not matter all people are equal and a soldier too is human after all. Armies are still invading other Countries and this is the twenty first century As long as we are ruled by ruthless people we never will know World harmony There always is two sides to every story and those who cause wars must pay the transgressors price And history will never look too kindly on those with power who have made the wrong choice. This war to rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein is something we ought not to celebrate How can you liberate a population if huge destruction in their Country you create, On others you cannot impose your values by good example one can only lead This war is hardly about liberation this war about it has the stench of greed. Another war to start another century such a waste of human life and environmental destruction seems a shame And of course there are two sides to every story and one side is not entirely to blame And the Iraqi people will be the big losers it is their Country that is being destroyed And this war like every war is very brutal and many injured and too many have died.
