to war

Oh war, i ask, why do you linger so,
when it is plain you are not wanted here.
And peace is what should rightly rule this land.
The people try to live in harmony,
but you disrupt the lives of all my friends.
I cannot understand the reasons why.
Oh war, you shouldnt shroud the skies with gloom,
for i prefer to walk about the land
hand in hand with friends that smile to all.
My heart holds peace, my hand holds one and all
oh war, i ask, why do you linger so?
