GOING INTO BATTLE

Why men fight in war I wish I knew 
In foreign lands such as Waterloo 
Bloodshed and heartbreak for the masses
Caused by guns, bombs and many gasses 

Lives are lost and families are broken 
Words are left unsaid and unspoken 
No in end in sight for world peace 
How I wish fighting would cease 

I'm thankful that I don't have to kill a man 
Just to survive the best way that I can 
Respect then to the armed service personnel 
Going into battle must be sheer torture and hell
