Get ready for war

Get ready for war

Distorted opinions

Holding the floor

Get ready for war

The flags wave

Pretend lions roar

Get ready for war

Refugee children

Dead on the shore

Get ready for war

Black white brown

Rich man and poor

Get ready for war

Left right middle

Extremist bore

Get ready for war

Man in the street

Says what’s this for

Get ready for war

Scared atheists cry

The religious implore

Get ready for war

Peace activists gasp

Restrained by the law

Get ready for war

Youth middle aged

Ten and three score

Get ready for war

Babies pre- schools

Two three and four

Get ready for war

The finger of blame

Points to the door

Get ready for war

The blameless suffer

The angry ignore

Get ready for war

Woman with child

Exhausted and sore

Get ready for war

Push out a statistic

Scream till you’re raw

Get ready for war

The truth or the lie

Both matter no more

Get ready for war

Cos “it is what it is”

No cause to explore

Get ready for war

Who started all this?

You’ll never be sure

Get ready for war

Is this Armageddon?

Is that what’s in store?

Get ready for war

A sudden news flash

An outburst a furore

Get ready for war

Go figure out

What you just saw

Get ready for war
