For those whose lives have been robbed in all wars. <br /> <br />They fought for causes unknown, <br />mowed down by the machinery of war. <br />Their bodies torn and mangled <br />fell on battlefields of a distant shore. <br />Their blood stained the earth <br />where they fell. <br />Their leaders looked down <br />from a lofty height, <br />then ordered more into the fight.. <br />The loss of just one person, <br />is such a crime. <br />Therefore the loss of thousands, <br />cut short in their prime. <br />There is no words, <br />to convey the horror felt.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/causes-unknown/
