“War?”

I look at my friend
Once so happy and alive
Now he lay at my feet
Cold, cold and unmoving
My friend, my friend
I kneel down to hold him
To bring the light back in his eyes

Children
He had children
A wife
All must live
All must live without him now

Why him, why him
Why not me
I have nothing
He had so much
Why him

Death
A pointless one
One for war
A war with no end
Why don’t they fight
The people who started this war
Why us
Why me
Why him
