WAR IS JUST NOT PRETTY! (WW1 inspirde)
War is not pretty , beautiful , or romanticWar has no glamor
War is ugly and all that
Go to France and Belgium
look at all those hundred of thousands of white stones
Thousands have no names
The men , and many never got to reach the age of being called men
Twenty one was then age of majority
But had reached the age to die in war
Two hundred fifty thousand boys under age , estimated, died in THAT WAR
In those graves lay so many to many , to many
Who went naively off to THAT ABATWA
Now lay side by side , silent , yet there silence , sounds over the years
Some hear and listen , many do not
So the ranks of the war dead grow , still the majority takes little notice
The silent ranks will keep growing , till the majority , say
NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE WARS!
