For Raul (War-Peace Poem)

We don’t need anymore war songs
In fact we don’t need any more war
Aristophanes wrote about it
It is older than dirt
The bible says there is time for war
But the hour glass has gone its course
We don’t need any more war
Let’s bring our boys home
It’s not just for the boys
But for the mothers and fathers too!
The girls want to do their part
They’re done
They want to come home too!
Let’s sing about it
We have
Bob, Bobby, and John
Crooned to their hearts content
Yet, they were only content when the boys came back home
Young men and women
The product of our children fighting
Fighting for world peace
They sing a song of justice
And there’s no place like home
Where Peace can be found
Far away from the battlefield
Now is a time for PEACE
