Why War, Why Not Peace?

Why are we in war?
Is there anything it is good for?
If there is please tell me,
because in war life is the fee.
We need to stop, this is my plea.

Is oil worth a war?
Because that’s what we’re fighting for.
A life of war and fear,
is upsetting, that is clear.
In this world every mother’s face with a tear

This war was a bad decision.
We had no clear mission,
Pointless fighting in the Middle East.
Why war, why not peace,
is an important question to say the least.

Wind Stopper

When the wind blows I have failed
So upon my head it shall hail
For I don't deserve such a title
If I can't stop something so vital.

My name is the Wind Stopper
and Wind I must stop
I have saved a town once or twice
but I have failed when a girl flew her kite.

You may not think that wind is bad
But you haven't seen the tings I have
A vicious storm can take a life
Is it worth living without your wife?

I once had a wife
but she was taken from me
A huge wind storm had taken her life
So I stop wind, now you see.
