Started by boys

Finished by men

A story told

Time and again


Startling hypocrisy

In papers new

Bereft democracy

In the hidden few


Glorious war

The families were fed

Send your living

To join the dead


Do not bear white feather

Do not paint yellow stripe

Read the lies

Believe the hype


Flag draped coffins

Returned to homes

Stories live on

Yet we bury

Their bones


How can a fight

Such as war

Be called won?

When the price we pay is

Father

Brother

Son.
