Broadcasting A Lie Poem by Francis Duggan

That time claims the wealthy and poor and the villians and heroes cannot be denied
And the last surviving soldiers of World War 1 long since have died
The war supposed to end all wars words are so easily said
Since nineteen eighteen millions of war dead
As long a there are human created borders and religion and cultural divisions war will be with us to stay
And more people are dying in conflicts every day
And the numbers of war refugees in their thousands does grow
From war there is only death and suffering and sorrow to show
In Patriotism, Nationalism and Racism the seeds of division are sown
I only state here what is already know
To many but people in war daily die
And those who tell us that war does lead to peace are broadcasting a lie.
