Written By Winners Poem by Francis Duggan

War history is written by winners this is how it seems to be
Though war winners quite often guilty of crimes against humanity
The true story of war the winners never do tell
Since the truth is a thing that would not serve them well
Many war winning leaders guilty of crimes against humanity enjoying the good life today
Whilst the leaders of war losing Countries for their crimes made to pay
By being put to death or in prison for a lifetime stay
The losers in war are punished in every way
Where innocent people are slaughtered in large numbers and buried like sheep
The victims of war in their mass graves their secrets do keep
Of how they were beaten and raped and killed in the cruelest way
Yet their murderers live happy and enjoy the good life today
War history only written by winners this is how it seems to me
Though that this does not seem fair would you not agree?
