The song War is similar to the song One Love in many ways, it all talks about our human race as one and trying to reunite all the people. But the difference between the two song is One Love talks about the difference between the individuals and War talks about the difference between races. The song War emphasis the idea of anti-racism and one race on the planet, that is our human race, not judged by the color of our skin, rathr judged by the content of our characters. Quote Martin Luther King. The wars that were inflicted onto the nations and the people because of racism were such painful memories, even now. However, a part of the lyrics was about the war in Africa specifically, I think they were talking about the wars happened when the European nations left their colonies to govern themselves. THe nations in Africa fought for power,land, and resources. The lyrics mentioned Angola, Mozambique, and many others that i recognized because of a study our SS class did. All these countries are the poorest, most un-sanitized, highest death rate, and malnutrition countries. THe wars brought the anguish onto the people.

The last bit of the song chanted - Good over evil - over and ver again, I believe that one day, in the world, what is wrong will then be set right, people shall not be judged by their skin colour, their nationlity, their background, rather by their content of their characters.
