Since The War Supposed To End All Wars

Since the war supposed to end all wars ninety six years have gone
But the spectre of war in the World does live on
And war gives rise to death and destruction and leaves many with horrific injuries
And creates millions of homeless and stateless people who become refugees
Yet some government leaders the lessons of war history willingly ignore
And order their troops to battle on a foreign shore
And stories and poems are written and songs written and sung
Of the soldiers of war who died brave and young
The destruction of property in bombings comes at a huge financial cost
And in war too many people are seriously injured and too many lives lost
Though of the consequences of war from history they do know
Some with great power of the lessons of war to learn seem slow
Since the war supposed to end all wars many wars Worldwide
And millions of people in wars have been seriously injured and millions have died.
