I wrote this at the time of the first gulf war. My brother was serving out there, and I felt the need to take up pen and write. You could say it's a little bit twee, but my heart was in the right place.

How many times do we have to fight,

To show the world what’s wrong and what’s right.

Most problems are caused by dictators and madmen,

We must stand our ground until we defeat them.

The worst things are done in the name of religion,

It can make rational people make stupid decisions.

The gods and the prophets would say end the fighting,

And most people know that’s the right thing

to do for the sake of our children and wives,

To stop the fighting would save so many lives.

Most people can tell you what’s right and what’s wrong,

We need to have courage, stand up and be strong.
