No matter how you put it...
WAR is RAW!!!!
RAW

War is raw because it’s hard to swallow,
it seeps in the soul of those who are armless.
The loss of life is raw and earsplitting,
ask the mother who lost her child,
ask the father who won’t attend graduation,
ask the child who will grow up mother or fatherless!

War is never about us....why you take it so personal?
war is about ego..oil, other people's possession...
because if war was about us,
rich and poor would fight along,
but we fight the rich man's war,
and deal with the devastating results in our slums.

War is raw, no matter how you dice it,
even if you reverse the letters
the devastation leaves you crying,
hoping you become hopeless,
shut up about the injustice,
make you blind to the plight of the other side,
because, you don't have to share your land,
your children don't walk through landmines,
because at the end, what’s mine is mine,
and I'll take yours, just because that's what I want,
and I will justify and make you testify
and I'll go to war, because..,
who cares, the kid that died this morning...wasn't mine!!
Would that make you change your mind?
Or **** it.....lets all just stay at war!
