A War To End All Wars Poem by Christopher Tye

A War To End All Wars

A war to end all wars they said,
A lasting peace turned out to be empty words,
Wars still raging as the innocent die,
Still more graves being dug and headstones carved.

Wasted generations at the hands of governments,
The people always paying the greatest price,
We seem to forget the horrors of war too quickly,
Remember the dead and ask why we are still having wars.
