"Never again once was cried," - Poem · 10:56pm Jul 3rd, 2016
Never again once was cried,
By those who lived that Great War,
Having seen their friends cut down,
On that bleak Western Front;
Yet war came again,
For their children,
Cursing another generation,
To the horror that is war;
Many more died,
In their millions,
To feed that beast,
That is called war;
Little could be done,
To tame this beast,
As it came amongst us all,
Tendrils reaching across the globe;
When the beast was slain,
It was for nought,
For soon it’s children,
Roamed this world once more;
Freedom and Justice,
The first child cried,
Rallying the righteous with its call,
Leading many in what thought a noble cause;
Equality for all,
The second child cried,
Shedding blood laden scales,
Drawing the downtrodden into its claws;
Protect our way of life,
Cried the final child,
Summoning those whom fear what they do not know,
To a war of hate and of ignorance;
Caught in their web,
The people of Earth,
Doom to live,
In an endless cycle of war and death.
