They Held a War and Nobody Came

They held a war this week, And nobody came. The warriors all stayed home. "It's not our fight," they said. "We have families to attend." Let the Rich Let the Generals, The Presidents and the Kings Go fight their own battles.

Join us, won't you; This peace feels good. © 2006 Shamsujim§ Sign in to see full entry.
