Throw your uniform away now
burn the flag above your head.
Toss your medals to the wind now
before you're victoriously dead.
Turn your tanks around.
Use the metal to build a playground.
Celebrate the broken gun.
Falling like a rain
of unbearable pain,
bombs fall.
Made to kill,
launched at will,
bombs fall.
Just destroy all of the bombs
Return the kids to their moms
Please make peace with one another
Because you'll be the ones that will smother
in the guilt and sorrow
that they isn't going to be a tomorrow.

Well I think it does have something to do with this contest and children are aware kids are not some little adult that see thing through adult eyes they see things through their eyes and views odf children and teenagers are so different then adults because you ask an adult what war is about and they say money and politics and if you ask a kid what war is about they will tell you it is about hate and how someone is trying to change the views of others.And believe me I know that kids are not ignorant and yoiu for one are not thank you for taking the time to enter be well .
