I am going to leve this as it is. Bad spellings and all!!!!
Lifes , more than THAN THIRTY MILLION PERISHED , MILLIONS suffered
Horrific wounds
The British people of lowly born and highly born
Lost there innocents , there naivety naive
When Tolkien among many , ivory towers crumbled into dust
To reveal life's true self
That books he'd read was not as life truly is
No heroes in shining armor rode out to fight the foe
That Herero death was piffle , a lie , patriotism , all lies
Songs , story's , poetry and the like , just so much tosh
Kipling , a peddler of all that
Who him self was self deluded , to the extreme
Peddled , that kind of '' stuff and nonsance ''
A propergansterist , of THE WAR , to wound the maces , to support the war
Men , and yes boys to volentera to kill and yes die
For GOD , KING , COUNTRY AND THE EMPIRE!
The maces , keep in ignorance till 1914 , the four years to come saw the end
Of all that kind of stuff and nonsense
Like many fathers son , Jack , Kipling , son went off to war
He died , his body never found , his ground down in to the dust and mud
Of Loos
Kipling , when informed of his sons death , changed his state of mind
For years , well until he died a searcher for his dead sons body
His son Jack was age 19
Tolkien , a universty stuodant , Oxford, as naive as any Hobbit of The Shires
Went off to war , had a horrible time , through his books , you know them I know
He told of the Hobbits , who naive had advenchurs at all
Those that did were '' strange '' , and not true , proper Hobbits at all
But unlike The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings
The Hobbits , of the Shire , went off to THE WAR , many never coming back
Those who did were shattered body's and minds , none could ever be the same
As they were before August 1914
The Great War To End ALL WARS , well it never did that! of course NOT!
Took the lifes of the great and the good , and all and all
Asquith , the British prime minister till 1915 , son killed in 1914
No family safe from THAT WAR!
The Kings family , well them Royalty affter all! Drest up in uniforms army and
Royal Navy , so look the part! At least that!
By 1918 , the dross of patreisam , poetry and story's of daring do
THAT WAR , got the people to think , long and hard
They were repedly told '' you are fighting for your freedom and democratic Rights!
Forty percent of those who went off to THE WAR , had no vote! Till they were 21!
The woman back home in the U K , had no vote at all
Men in the trenches , spent a lot of time thinking things through and talking
By 1918 , people change , came back with great expektashans

1914 THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE OLD ORDER
