LEGAL LOGIC??
As I sit me down and ponder,
I’m just now led to wonder
Why men go to war?
There’s a law against killing
Each other, but we’re willing
To generate a war!
Then we ignore legal hassle
And off we go to wrastle...
To kill and what for?
How silly it is to manufacture
Weapons to maim and fracture
People like we are.
But an idea that got me going,
That I’m writing for showing,
Is just another law.
We can’t make warring illegal,
But might be some legal beagle
Will grit his jaw.
And to whit: make it unlawful...
For soldiers when out in battle
To get wounded or die!
It’s just about as efficient as
Some laws already passed....
I wonder why?
