Die In Vain Poem by Ima Ryma

Powers that be that We let be,
Keep sending us to fight in war.
We do not learn from history.
Hope for peace on Earth is no more.
The living come to the graveside
Of those who paid the highest price,
To remember those who have died.
But for what did they sacrifice?
For freedom - powers that be lie.
That's always the same lame excuse.
Lots of We the People must die.
For powers that be, We have use.

As long as war mongers do reign,
Too many dead do die in vain.
