Peace of Mind

How is war attractive?
With blood and gore and active
Soldiers causing killing
As well as bombs spilling out of planes
And war ships maiming
With orders to rip their hearts out
Clip their wings
Making war instead of other things
Like love above the cruelty
To shove our minds into fooling
Around with weapons
And going around teaching lessons
When you are a student of massacre?
It isn't rude, it is absurd!
To take a gun and say it is won
By making one lose a life
To bend a knee and allow an enemy 
To die in a fight
When we could light a bulb
Instead of a fuse
With the idea we can not refuse
Not an offering of surrender
But stopping the suffering rendered
When the fighting does not enlighten
It only incites and frightens
Losing the insight that enlightens and decides
Peace should not at least entice them
To please both sides and enable 
Leaving peace on the table
Enabling the world to turn
And the words to discern
That peace is a price we pay
When war is a slice to slay
We must be nice and display
A better way than murder in furvor
We must trust our intelligence and further
Thrust out the rebellion against 
Peace of mind
Increasing when we find
An opportunity in the day
When men and women can certainly say
War is no longer attractive and scores are
Not what wins the satisfaction
Of all the games
In the world
Especially when they involve the lives
Of boys and girls
We have to give humanity a chance
To survive the insanity
In advance
Before the destruction
And dysfunction of the political
Corruption
With a mass of truth to outclass
The fast pursuits in wars demonic ways
And counter the wars with more melodic days
In where we sing the true words 
And bring the truth towards
A harmony
The storm honoring the rain
Disarming the conflict
With a charming gain
And a constant rhythm
Of decision to secure
Loves precision
And the pure
Not to pursue misery
But endure beyond the tour of duty
And the disarray of peace
Not to miss the rays of these
Lights as we fight for the rights
We delight in
As I say again, how is war attractive
My friend
When we know it is more reactive
To begin than to try and die to end them
