History teaches us nothing at all,
You might as well study the bounce of a ball,
The Roman Empire's rise and fall,
Is nothing compared to what's over the wall.
The result of the war in forty five,
Twenty Million prople were caused to die,
It's starting all over with people that lie,
Might just as well kiss your loved ones good bye.
Know not what's right, know not what's wrong
But countries are singing the wrong kind of song
Soon they'll be shooting the missiles of war
It seems like a game..killing people galore.
The suicide folks where life is so bleak,
Soon they blow up, that is so to speak,
The guns and the bombs are supplied by unseen,
There is no escape. this murder machine.
The papers each day tell of plots that are new,
Resulting in mayhem directed at you,
If young folks today are unable to stop
A shoe, you'll be waiting, the other to drop

GREAT POEM, NORM
The only thing history will teach us all, is that it will continue to repeat itself like a bouncing ball....over and over....from generation to another...it's the same old story....war and glory! Will man ever learn to live with himself in peace? probably never....unless they sign a lease, and even then, it's short lived and mayhem, but Norm your poem is history. It's recorded now what it was like to see.....all the terrible things that came to be. May we pray that someday soon...the wicked men will have to live on the moon!
loved your poem.....read it several times.
