Yet For God And For Country Poem by Francis Duggan

For to kill other people some commit suicide
And by far too many in war zones have died
And war always breaks out when men disagree
This is how it is and it always will be
In bombing missions gone wrong and in suicide bombings or in some other way
More people are dying in war zones every day
From wars some men never learn it does seem this way
The mistakes of the past are repeated today
Even victory in war always comes at a cost
In every war fought many lives are lost
Yes even for victory in war the price is huge to pay
War men do not grow wiser they just grow old and gray
That we are born as mortals is surely not a lie
Yet for God and for Country men kill others and die.
