War And Peace - Victors Write History Poem by Paul Warren

The Romans decided the Celts were uncivilised
The British thought that the aborigines were uncultured
I'm sure if the Germans had won World War Two
That they would have excused the Holocaust too

The Taliban are looked upon as cruel and uncaring
For what they did in Afghanistan during their rampaging
When you lose you are a villain for history to record
But if you win you write the history and strike a better chord

So if you are going to go conquering other people around
Make sure you win the battles to write a good history found!
