One day, there is a city
There held a military parade
All soldiers marching
With their tanks and vehicles
In the main road of the city

No, they are not invaders
They even don’t celebrate victory!
Look closer…
Their tanks, their guns
Without ammunition, without bullets
Without rockets, without bombs
And look closer again!
Abram Tank US, Panzer Germany, Merkava Israel, Katyusha Arab
All take part for the parade

Above them, in the clear blue sky
F-22 US, MiG China, and Sukhoi Russia
Maneuvering together, make such wonderful airshow
Then many leaflets are dropped
By unarmored helicopters
“When all wars and violence cease”
That’s the message of those leaflets

The citizens drowned in the sea of happiness, too
Children with their father, shouting happily,
“Daddy, I want to join them!!”
Soldiers welcome children very friendly
While mothers see from their house garden
Smile when seeing their children
Enjoying their perfect childhood
And look at the other side!
Many teens gather, take photo together
With army from every nation in the background

In the trotoar, some old men
Having nostalgic moment
The moment where their generation
Kill and being killed, taking fire each other
But….those memories,
They promise to forget it
For them, see their son, daughter, grandchildren
Live in peace without war, is the true happiness
That can erase their every traumatic past



“When all wars and violence cease…”
