Lessons Not Learned

The war supposed to end all wars ended more than nine decades ago
And the enemy then is no longer a foe
But wars are still fought in the Human World of today
That lessons not learned from the past seems a sad thing to say
No sign of peace in the cultural and religious divide
Far too many for God and for Country have died
In war zones civilians have buried their dead
Where there is little hope  of peace in the decades ahead
The instigators of war from the war zones far away
Whilst others for their lust for power and arrogance with their lives do pay
The praises of non fighting old war instigators some sing
Suppose in the  Land of the Blind the  one eyed man is king
In the war zones of the World every day more are injured and more  lives are lost
And even victory in war does come at a  huge cost.
