Beautiful Day
*************

Such a beautiful day it is,
When nothing can go wrong.
The flowers are blooming,
And the birds are in full song.

But, alas!!!
Such a day cannot last.
Gun shots fire,
And everything disappears fast.

The flowers are trampled upon
By heavy boots and evil men.
The birds are shot down,
And I look at all this with a frown.

Now, all that is left
Of the flowers and the birds
Are the feathers and petals.
And those evil men win many medals.

So this is war.
When even a beautiful day
Where nothing can go wrong
Does go wrong.
