Why are you fighting, why do you foam
What are you fighting for
Why petted pout and tetchy tantrum
The slamming of all open doors
Has someone pained you with their lying
Stolen your toys or treats
Why crocodile tears, the threat of more crying
The stamping of petulant feet
Who has affronted, who has offended
Sensibilities, pride or your dress
Or have you broken fences that cannot be mended
Grow up now and own up, confess
Have you hurt your friends, insulted their name
Been a bully, a braggart, a pest
Are you really culprit and won’t take the blame
Have you really tried what is best
Why are you fighting, what is your cause
And who are you hurting the most
Where common sense in all that is lost
Your brain in meaningless boasts
Time to reflect on the nature and meaning
Why no friends now come to your door
Why are you fighting, what are you fighting
Just who are you fighting for
