Why War?

by Samridh Kundu and Abdullah Aneel aged 11 and 12

Roar roar, I am hungry for more,
I soar and adore running through the battlefield of war
We were told we could explore, but we were kicked and nicked
But not to worry, we explore more about the country Ecuador

The deathly silence of war is not nice, it was called a game,
But how do you know, all you do is blame
War is not a joke, it is not good and it’s brutal
War is really deadly and futile

Why do we go to war?
Do we really think it’s a game?
War is atrocious and is used to lure young soldiers
But don’t get fooled, if you mess up, you will have a permanent sign of shame.
