War Mongers

War mongers and politicians never learn Claiming war the answer for freedom and choice Without regard to those who must pay in blood Military lives cut short, remembered by poppies. War is hell on earth, mass killing of the innocent Bombing of cities, countries invaded, homes destroyed Civilians abused, raped, starving in misery, dying Widows, orphans, and thousands of displaced persons Subjected to the tranny of conquering armies. When war ends there remains mass military graves Row upon row of white crosses dotting foreign fields Marking where young lives brutally ended and were buried. There is no glory in war only destruction and death With hearts and minds broken for those who survive.
