Aftermath
When the calls for war are made,
When the men are shipped and bade,
farewell.
When the first shots are fired,
When war heroes emerge admired,
the aftermath cannot be good.
When nations are torn apart,
When battle plans are written on a chart,
We know what is to come.
Destruction and loss of life
followed by economic strife
is the terrible result.
So I propose this to you:
Be one of the few
to try to keep the peace.
For when battle is called,
When men are mauled,
the aftermath cannot be good.
Inspired by: "Aftermath" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
