Why wars have been fought
Cheap, life is not
True love, first to be sought
Children should be taught today
A kinder, gentler way
More empowering things to say
Loving hearts with words that stay
Lessons on what God requires
The dangers of lust's smoldering fires
A need to serve that never tires
The loving heart that God desires
Especially in this day and age
Wartime savagery on instant display
Sudden outbursts of human rage
Love can't seem to find a way
Let's give some extra thought
