Where Wars Are Won Or Lost

WHERE WARS ARE WON OR LOST Wars are waged by older men In battle rooms in countries apart. Who call for greater firepower And troops for the combat chart. While out among the shattered flesh The dreams of all have turned gray. So young and determined their faces were Till on the battlefield they lay. Unable to overcome their pride The overseers cast their vote. For this or that or something else As the thunder of war sounds its note. Wherever wars are won or lost The soldiers fall like toys. Down through history it remains the same Most who pass are hardly more than boys. By Tom Zart
