The heir to the throne and his wife,
Went down to a Serb who took their life,
Austria-Hungary declared war on the scene,
July,1914.
To protect Serbia, Russia mobilized that day,
To protect Austria-Hungary, Germany joined the fray,
Then France hooked up protecting the Kremlin,
To thwart a German invasion through Belgium.
Political hacks floundering in the haze,
Created the tussle in just six days,
Incubation for the First World War
July 28 to August 4.
Everybody figured it'd be over in a week,
Welcome to trenches, welcome to bleak.
It's hard to say who really won,
When you think about it...in the long run.
