What is this thing called war? what is this thing called war that causes nations to stumble and fall as they walk they call call for help which takes long to come. there's war in Israel or is it palestine? everyday people die why can't man sit down and think? killing is murder and brings pain, kid left without parents mom left with no child sad,sad,sad! what is this thing called war that causes homes to break? fleeing the country knowing home is best and is always missed. looking at the place it's all in ruins there's no turning back now gotta go far away become a refugee good life, there's no guarantee what is this thing called war that is killing Africa? as I look I see the invisible world war three Zimbabwe under dictatorship c'mon why can't we create a relationship? poverty struck we try to survive and believe that someday the nightmare will be over African youth where's your pride? we used to listen to mom and dad now we add to the trouble extending the war against AIDS what's going on? Father my heart is broken and you know every word i've spoken is true my heart goes out to the street children deprived of homes and love I pray that you'll find a better day somehow in this confusion God will make a way Africa just like me I see you falling, but oneday we'll rise. what is this thing called war that causes me to break down and cry, and encourage me to put my feelings on paper? can somebody tell me what is this thing called war?
