The Battle was fought <br />Blood was spilt on grass so green <br />Guns fell silent <br />Land reclaimed <br />Flowers grew bloomed, coloured red <br />Where human beings had bled <br />Ugliness like a Princess kissed <br />Something beautiful will grow <br />In the hearts of men <br /> <br />Written Tuesday June 2006<br /><br />Allan James Saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ugliness-of-war/
