War is bad for you
by Ravyn Scarlett Rose Trippsmith
6 years old
War is bad for you
You should not go to it
It kills you too much
The president
Should stop
Making more war
War is bad for children
Kids can get blown up
They don't have any water
Or food to feed each other
The president
Should give them
Something to drink and eat
War is bad for parents
Mommies and daddies can die
And their kids will miss them
And if children die
Their parents will cry on the inside
Sometimes forever
The president
Should make families happy
Not angry
P.S. War is bad for you…
