WAR

Kids Speak Out 

In crawled the night

Its sky was alight

Men limped along the path

Hearts were stuffed with gloom and wrath

Backs were bent

And smoke was the scent

The earth trembled to the bomb’s sound

After crimson monster grew superior

While lives became inferior

Heads sunk down

And humanity began to drown

Bodies with no breath became a common sight

With the blood blanket adding some fright

Desperate cries befriended the night’s sky

And so did explosions as time passed by

It’s a nightmare

But they still repeat that old lie with no care

“Dulce Et Decorum est”

So don’t repeat it to the rest

War is not glory after all

It’s an everlasting scar to every soul
