What if war were only a game?
And countries competed all the same.
Put their best to the test,
Win or lose no one's to blame.
Our soldiers come home free,
with only bumps and bruises.
Their minds stressed ultimately,
by their checks and chooses.
Where only the fittest can survive,
but everyone returns alive.
Where competing means we thrive,
And the winner take the spoils.
To be bathed in fine oils,
topped with a wreath of ivy coils.
With the gods the mind swirls,
what thinks the mind beneath those curls?
To have the maiden of his wishes,
unfettered by religious switches.
Turning life, "on" or "off",
to some patriarch's twitches.
If only war were a game,
they held the war and no one came.
Everyone laughed and came home sane,
for all the world to see...
Oh, what a wonderful world it would be!

Now you have a brilliant idea... if only it were true. But that's just it IT would take SANITY. And as long as there is the insanity of greed, materialism (to fix spiritual problems) and hate it will only be a game of deadly consequences.
Perhaps if we all stopped to think on short and temporary our stay is in this world.
Great thoughts from a great writer...

Yes you did echo John Lennon's sentiments and very well. With two wars going on and more possibly to come, I think peace is on everyone's mind, and the question why? Beautiful.
