A Boorish Few Poem by Mark Heathcote

I didn't pick these words it was done as challenge poemFor me the word 'boorish' was used a lot at the time of the First World War. Anyone knowing a little bit of history about that might know this; I think the word hasn't been in circulation much since that time.The word was use to describe a lot of uncaring generals who didn't value the lives of their young infantry soldiers and got a lot of young men shot dead unnecessary.And those that ran back in fear terrified at the numbers being mowed down by machine guns were executed as cowards by their own side. Things might have changed a lot since then but I'm sure there is still a few boorish few' left, I didn't say where or who these people are or could be they could be anywhere in the entire world.
