Despite death and injury it has all been in vain <br />The war it is over but the hatred remain <br />The war it is over but the hatred won't die <br />And that war leads to peace and justice is always a lie. <br /> <br />The war it is over but not dead and gone <br />The simmering hatred and mistrust for decades live on <br />And too few realize two wrongs don't make a right <br />In a darkened soul you won't find any light. <br /> <br />This modern warfare is a horrible thing <br />Such suffering to non combatants it does bring <br />The pilots who on bombing missions do fly <br />Drop their parcels of death from the clouds of the sky. <br /> <br />The war supposed to end all wars ended decades ago <br />Yet in the twenty first century the numbers of the war dead grow <br />We need more people who believe in live and let live <br />You kill someone's children you they won't forgive. <br /> <br />The war it is over but the mother in tears <br />The death of her innocents she will grieve for years <br />They lived in the wrong building and were there at the wrong time <br />Yet a war bombing mission gone wrong is not seen as a war crime.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-war-it-is-over/
