How Many More?

How many more must perish,

Have we not learned anything from the past?

How many more must die,

Before we do anything to stop it?

How many more must suffer,

When will we stop and think?

How many more must be buried,

Until we see there is no point?

How many more shall bury their own,

Did they deserve this? Did they?

How many more must sacrifice their lives,

When will we see it is useless?

How many more shall never breathe again,

Before we realize the true meaning of war?

Yes they are all brave warriors,

And willing to die for their country.

But how many more shall never see the light of day...

When will we stop?

Until all of them are buried?





How many more must give the ultimate sacrifice?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

These are just my feelings about the on-going war and how terrible it is. War is a hideous beast and we are doing nothing to control it. Too many soldiers, as brave as they are, are dying needlessly.
