If Politicians Who Vote For Wars Had To Fight Wars Poem by Terence George Craddock

If Politicians Who Vote For Wars Had To Fight Wars

Rating: 5.0


war has been spoken of
as diplomacy by other means
if politicians who vote

for wars had to fight wars
wars would be rare events
I believe wars would be rare events

politicians famously protect their skins
politicians cowardly run from real fights

Native American Indians
were lead by war chiefs
who were in the front ranks

in warrior raids battles wars
if tribes went on warpath war
chiefs were among the first to die

this probably explains the reason why
raiding was more common than war

Your words are brilliant. You have the answer. All of those deaths in all of these years. Just why? " Chiefs were among the first to die"

Good one. They prefer to send your son while theirs is enjoying. Why war ever. Talk until you agree. Involve others till common ground is achieved. Instead of rat a tat tat tat its talk a talk talk talk talk.
