Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #219 – War is at the doorstep.
What do you expect me to do? & Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Lovers
“We’re lovers, not fighters!”
“War is at the doorstep. What do you expect me to do?“
“Don’t let them in.”
Peace, Please

So true! (Though, I wonder why you use the plural, because war itself is in singular, so I thought that one should say “don’t let it in”. Is there any specific rule, why to use the plural here?)

Thanks, Timo. Yes, good observation. The reference to “them” refers to those who engage in war. It’s usually not just one who does.

Wrong versus right
War versus peace
Greed versus commonsense
Destruction versus harmony
Killing versus living
War is not the people’s choice

The average person, but there are those who are blood thirsty. Great song.
