Roland cannot go to school, <br />his brother needs the trousers, <br />for shorts the weather is too cool <br />no clothes for rabblerousers. <br /> <br />The war was won by others, yup <br />the piper must be paid <br />I'll go around with paper cup <br />no longer so afraid. <br /> <br />We did respond to his Sieg Heil <br />yes all of us were proud <br />my brother walked the final mile <br />the cannon shot was loud. <br /> <br />Mankind has surely, truly learned <br />from all atrocities, <br />perhaps so many bodies burned <br />for man to have his peace.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/war-thoughts/
