Now That I Am Older.

It now just seems so long ago
When I was but a child
Playing at soldiers, guns and war
It all seemed kind of wild

But now that I am older
It was but all in jest
Theres nothing at all thats glorified
That ends in some ones death

But then we were as children
And that was only play
And now that we are older
We should find some other way

Those games we played as children
I know they were pretend
But if we did'nt play them in the first place
Maybe then the wars would end.
