Why War should be avoided. Not only War obstruct the peace and order, it creates a negative aura among the world. Pain and suffering should be avoided at all cost.

As we know, war destroys men and women. Yet, those remained alive will be haunted by unpleasant memories for the rest of his/her life. But what if the soldiers die/any civilian, who will suffers? The love one, of course, especially for the women.

Read.

Verse 9.

BUT THE DEAD SOLDIER'S LADY DOES NOT DANCE.
But the lady in the Detention Centre
does not dance.
But the honour killing lady does not dance.
But the drowned policeman's lady
does not dance.
But the lady in the filthy hospital ward
does not dance.
But the lady in Wootton Bassett does not dance.
But the gangmaster's lady does not dance.
But the lady with the pit bull terrier
does not dance.
But another dead soldier's lady
does not dance.


Inspiring indeed. Carol Ann Duff actually wrote a poem regarding UK sending troops to you know where. Soldiers' wife/husband/mother/father/son/daughter were all equally affected.

Is true that war is something human cannot avoid? Look at the history.
