Lest we forget

A poem

Lest we forget they say

War, we all regret, murders of a brother, sister or father

War, mass murder, serial killers out of scared little boys

War, 60 million dead, for what? The good of a handful of people, there is no “greater good” about it

Blood soaking the ground, blood of boys and girls, too scared to go back

War, we all remember, the weeping widow, the motherless children

Oil, money, land or gold, nothing is worth the death of millions

War, please not again, not my children, not my brothers and sisters

Whether we can stop it I am not sure, all we can to for sure is be aware

60 million dead

Over 2000 homes destroyed

Innocents killed, children found in bomb rubble

So is that the greater good I ask?

Is that politically correct I ask?

It’s where we’ve been, please let’s not make it where we’re going

No, we will never forget
