For to celebrate war there's always one more parade <br />And out of war warriors heroes are made <br />Only the good die young some are known to say <br />But I know good people who are old and gray. <br /> <br />The praises of war leaders many may sing <br />But those who declare war on others do it as a power thing <br />Though many with my thinking may not agree <br />Those who declare war on terror are major terrorists to me. <br /> <br />Millions of human beings through the centuries in wars have suffered and died <br />And wars through the ages have been fought Worldwide <br />And still we have wars and talks of more wars today <br />Of our human capacity to learn from past mistakes of us what does this say? <br /> <br />It can lead to acts of aggression patriotic pride <br />And religion, nationalism, patriotism and racism are the things that divide <br />People of all Nations who live everywhere <br />And over them more wars are fought in the big World out there.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-to-celebrate-war/
