War

War destroys, war oppresses,
War disturbs the peace.
War kills guilty, innocent;
Collateral damage a shame.
Pacifist peace, a dream;
War, for sure, cannot claim.

War is destruction,
War brings restoration.

War curtailed Nazi killings,
Victory over fascist past.
American Civil War, its spoils,
Liberated those enslaved.
Readiness of modern military,
Rent the Iron Curtain.

Evil reigns in war,
Without war evil reigns.

Peace has only reigned,
After victories of war.
Peace without a fight,
Lost without defense.
Spoils of modern wars,
Brought about our peace.

War preserves our liberty,
War defends your peace.
