Font Color='#880000'When Will It End? /Font Poem by David Zvekic

Sometimes - I really don't understand:
Why a child dies for an M.R.E.?
When will it end? When will it end?

Was ever this 'coalition' Freedom's friend?
Just who 'hid' the President's W.M.D?
Sometimes - I really don't understand.

Why does the Administration defend
The fiction and lies it once sold to me?
When will it end? When will it end?

How many years must the World then spend?
Since when did P-O-W spell 'detainee'?
Sometimes - I really don't understand.

How war can be just when its reasons don't stand?
Or why we call failure a 'victory'?
When will it end? When will it end?

How many innocent lives must end
For our money and greed and 'democracy'?
The thing we dare most not understand:
The Business of War is to war with out end.
