What is war?

What is war you may well ask, It is one of man's worst task. He makes excuses left, right and centre to do his Evil deeds. This, he does to succumb the poor and the weak. War, definitely has no friends, But it is an excuse for the rich to slave the poor. The rich arm the poor To kill each other, Then they are made Slaves for the rest of their precious life.

Another poem written called Love and Hate :-

Love is a four-letter word, Hate, too is a four-letter word. Within these two words, my Lord Lies the Future of our Precious and Blessed world. Let Love Flourish, Never let it die, Hate should never be given the freedom to Nourish, You must remove it from your precious eye.
