“The war to end all wars” they said <br />And were naively believed <br />By those who now are honorably dead <br />Never knowing they were deceived <br /> <br />Wars are peddled with promised glory <br />With patriotic fervor, wars are sold <br />To those who die in warring gory <br />Without their right of growing old <br /> <br />For future generations, I’ve great concern <br />They needn’t set their world ablaze <br />For their survival they must discern <br />The peaceful road to better days<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-war-to-end-all-wars/
