Civil war or an oxymoron?
One of those many software engineers sitting in front of the PC, listening to foot tapping music. Suddenly the soul in q hears Civil War by GNR enqued in her playlist. A man reasons with the world about the atrocities of war, saying how war can never please neither the perpetrators of the crime nor the lashed out. In the end, with the guns and bombs as a witness in the background he says “What is so civil about war anyways”.
Is there such a thing as a civil war, much like civil rights, civil manners and all those phrases you can dole out? I personally think it is the biggest joke one kind is playing on the other going in an infinite never ending cycle. Only here there is never going to one with the LAST LAUGH

The war-mongers of this world do have a sense of grim-humor: In addition to civil wars, 'war games' and 'friendly fire' are a couple more oxymorons that come to mind.
In many civil wars (africa/sri lanka/ireland) there have been more deaths than the cause would warrant. In some cases, the cause itself turns out to be dubious. Eitherways, there is no war; at best, what both parties negotiate for is an unspoken, assisted suicide pact.
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken,
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see it's not me, it's not my family,
In your head, in your head, they are fighting,
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are cryin'
In your head, in your head, Zombie, Zombie
In your head, what's in your head Zombie
Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dyin'
In your head, in your head, Zombie, Zombie
In your head, what's in your head Zombie
