In Some Countries

In some Countries where the white flower of peace has not bloomed for years
Many people only know of death, suffering and tears
In wars over religion, land and race and cultural and tribal wars as well
And sadly it is always the good who live and die in earthly hell
In war zones good people are dying every day
In bombings and shootings and in every foul way
Many good people have died in a foul way over decades of time
To be living in war zones was their only crime
The war supposed to end all wars was fought a century ago
And the enemy then is no longer the foe
Of the lessons of war history many do not wish to know
Mistrust and hatred into war does grow
And it is always the good with their lives who do pay
In bombings and shootings in war zones every day.
