War To End All Wars

Poem about War back in 1900's up to now, how much everything has changed... =/

Back in the war,

Way back in 1914,

It was the start of gunfire,

Explosions

And the act of freedom.

People died in a rational way of bleeding

Breathing,

Lungs burning to be living.

Choking on the fumes of holding the front line,

Trenches dug into the French Coast,

For four years of non-stop fighting,

Russian's retreated,

Here comes the USA.

Before long they'll be bleeding,

Prey to god for the 'god damned reasons'

Why must they fight when their honours at home;

A wife, two kids and a furry little dog.

But that's how it went,

F**k life,

F**k living,

You was in the army and this is where the army leads them.

No, not to their deaths,

Just to spend years in the the trenches.

But isn't there more then that, that there's a day we care?

A day we all know that we all share,

Not just a kick around the battle field,

But the gift of just knowing that,

We don't have to kill.

That war ended pretty fast,

more than 130 million people put into the past,

That war was torture and it went out with a blast.

However

1939 Came,

More raging war

And blood thirsty demons seeped into our world,

This pasted with crazy ideas,

"Putting the past behind us"

...Shhh, We haven't really...

Revealing that we've not just learnt how to sign a peace treaty.

We've also learnt how to point a gun at a country, ready to attack,

But we all really know that their pointing one back,

And then what happens next is we're all waiting to die,

Out with a bang and we know the reasons why.
