It would be nice if there was no more war
Wounded, bloodied bodies, death, no more,
If politicians would just listen, not shout
When they're mad, just throw dishes about
A tea cup here, and a dinner plate there
Is better than missiles flying in air
Because even fine china one can replace
But never a totally destroyed human face
When those politicians have a very big beef
That leads us to war, and consumate grief,
Maybe the politicians themselves should fight
And war would disappear, like, just over night!

Wonderful Simon. And so true - I know I'd rather have a dinner plate aimed at me than a missile!! :-)
