NO MORE WARS <\/p>\n

We all know that war is nonproductive,
\nYes, wars are just one mindless waste,
\nYet look at how countries pursue them,
\nThey engage in them with much haste.<\/p>\n

Indeed, all wars are totally destructive,
\nLike some monster with terrible claws,
\nBut they won’t stop fighting and killing,
\nWhy can’t nations ever give it a pause?<\/p>\n

Sadly, no sooner has one battle ended,
\nWhen somewhere another one begins,
\nThis violent world so needs to wake up,
\nBecause in the end no one really wins.<\/p>\n

How can any confrontation be justified,
\nWhen so many innocent lives are lost,
\nIt’s time that we stop and ask ourselves,
\nIs war really worth such a terrible cost?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
