Of The Praises Of The Heroes Of War

Of the praises of the heroes of war the patriots may sing
But war in itself is a terrible thing
And even victory in war comes at a huge cost
In injury to many for life and in lives that are lost
Wars are being waged in the World every day
That leaders have not learned from past wars does seem sad to say
War over culture and borders and religion and race
In the minds of people at war for peace there is no place
When we glorify war peace will not be our due
That violence breeds violence only happens to be true
The war supposed to end all wars ended a century ago
And the enemy back then is no longer the foe
Yet civilians are dying in war zones every day
From past wars leaders have not learned which does seem sad to say.
