With too much time
And no video games
Ambitious generals
Under surfeited kings
Sent young men
Into bloody battle lines
They played on from afar

So after all
Have gone to ground
The same as soldiers
Who trusted them
Let them
Now burn in Hell

Thank you,

I was responding to the European wars
of 1914 and before
which we can not imagine . . .


Thanks again,


John
