Is There Justification? Poem by Ray Hansell

Is there justification
For this on going war
Can anyone explain
Just what we're fighting for

We know the politicians
Always have their reasons
But their explantions
Are never very pleasing

There are politicians
Who want the war to end
To the President
This is the message they send

But it seems all their talking
Is falling on deaf ears
I know no one imagined
We'd be there this many years

I think the time has come
For all of us concerned
It's time to bring the troops home
Look at all we learned

To never again charge ahead
Without a complete plan
That including starting a war
Then knowing how to bring it to an end
