When A War Gets Started Poem by Dorsey Baker

When a war gets started
Nobody knows
How many bombs
Will fall
How many bullets
Will fly
How many get wounded
How many people
Will have to die
When a war gets started
Nobody knows
How long it will last

We don't know the future
And it seems like
We have learned
Nothing from the past

When a war gets started
It brings
Nothing but pain and misery
When a war gets started
Death and destruction
Such a bloody
Sight to see
War is never wanted
Because
War is so very ugly!
