The War To End All Wars Poem by Francis Duggan

The War To End All Wars



The war to end all wars of course is a lie
How many more people in conflicts will die
Before the war hungry leaders may even slightly realize
That on their behalf warring is not very wise
Wars and rumors of wars we read of and hear of every day
And from nuclear war only one mistake away
Far too many National leaders with nuclear weapons at their disposal and with big egos at stake
One misunderstanding is all that it would take
For the war to end all wars for to begin
With nuclear bombs being dropped a war none could hope to win
A war to humanity that would come at an unthinkable cost
Where millions if not billions of human lives would be lost
The war supposed to end all wars was fought almost a century ago
But many wars since and the war dead numbers do grow.
