poets for PEACE

Cause of War,

As we debate the cause of war, examine why they start,

We may just overlook the fact that some folks have no heart!

All that matters all they want is more money to store,

And so they find some tension and, fire up another war!

Just loan armaments to one side, and also to another,

If you can stir and argument, one man will fight his brother,

It doesn't matter which side wins, you can collect the debt,

And if both end in stalemate the result is better yet!

Both paying interest on their debt, you're right for many years ,

Move to another battlefield and close your ears to tears.

It isn't in your interests, to say what's right or wrong.

Your aim is to amass the gold, so stir the pot along!

And then there are the self same group, who think the world is theirs,

They have some human pedigree and they have planned for years,

In clandestine meetings, they've planned to take the realm,

Which democracy has cheated them, as it took up the helm.

They own a share in armaments, and they can surely gain,

From causing wars, behind closed doors, not caring for the pain!

If Governments are bankrupt, well that promotes their cause,

You loan them money and claim interest, all behind closed doors!

And if the interest's hard to meet, well that promotes your plan,

You just suggest a change of laws, they'll do it to a man.

And when you have the money - why just finance both sides,

Of political parties and you're rolling with the tides!

So now, - to put an end to war, here's the very plan,

Shame all those with armament shares - right down to the last man

Strike and close the factories within their corporate brief,

Without their guns and bombs and planes, their wars will have to cease.
