Far Too Many Civilians Poem by Francis Duggan

Far too many civilians in war zones have died
Their gift of life of them by misadventure denied
'Tis happening where wars are fought every day
Far too many civilians are dying in this way
Civilians are dying in almost every aerial attack
And life from once taken cannot be given back
In every war human life is taken as cheap
But those who start war the karma they sow they must reap
And karma it surely will not pass them by
For what goes around comes around to them apply
Old patriots past battles do love to recall
And from the past many have not learned at all
And more civilians are dying in war zones every day
For wars far too many innocent civilians with their lives do pay.
