World War I

Tweet

This morning I read a very disturbing fact. I’m going to share it with you and I hope you will enjoy reading the poem that I wrote on my feelings about WAR. Here is the disturbing FACT: The most disastrous battle of World War I, was in July of 1916 in the Battle of the Somme. What loss of life happened? Britain loses 420,000+ men France loses 195,000+ men Germany loses 650,000+ men That’s 1 MILLION, 265 THOUSAND men. For what? And this doesn’t even count the ones who were badly injured physically and mentally. My Poem: Another year of war and mourning. Living, breathing souls, now dead. It really should, sound a warning. Can’t we get it through our head? Every war brings on another. In each one, man kills his brother. Repeating history, solving nothing. Ever since Cain, and Abel’s suffering. Never learning , how much it cost. Every life that has been lost. How many lives will be sacrificed? Every one who has been enticed, to Never object to WAR! They Reason that there is a force. You must obey and stay the course, But If all laid down the sword today, Not one more soul would have to pay. Victory would be assured. And death by WAR, forever cured.
