Fuhstest with the mostest

Poem about war

“To be the first with the most” yelled Forrest
An echo surely chorused
“Theirs was not to reason why” exclaimed Tennyson
Months later over the sound of his rioting denizens
“Duty is the essence of manhood” comes sternly from Patton
Alongside si vas pacem para pactum, arrives our demise in Latin
“What a cruel thing war is” reports sadly from Robert E. Lee
As he fights against setting folks free
“War makes monsters of us all” issues forth from fiction
A fitting description.
