The talking is all over
The words don’t mean a thing
Two nations start a war
Who do they think will win?
Bombs start falling everywhere
Buildings crumble to the ground
People run, yell and scream
But their cries don’t make a sound
Soon both nations agree
They must try to talk again
They each accuse each other
As the finger pointing begins
But soon there is a ray of hope
As both sides leave no doubt
They have to stop the fighting
A compromise must be worked out
The bombs no longer fall
But the damage has been done
Destruction is seen everywhere
Does either side think they’ve won?
Thousands of people lay there dead
Hopes and dreams all lie shattered
But to the nations both involved
Once again, the people didn’t matter
