And the World Moved On

80 million died in World War 2 And the world moved on 37 million died in the Great War And the world moved on 20 million died in the 1918 influenza epidemic And the world moved on 20 million were killed by Stalin And the world moved on 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler And the world moved on 3.5 million died in the Vietnam War And the world moved on 3 million died by the Pol Pot regime And the world moved on 3 million died by the British hand in India suppressing independence And the world moved on 382,000 were killed by Saddam Hussein And the world moved on 300,000 were killed by Idi Amin And the world moved on It makes me wonder how we survive When our best occupation is killing each other. © Paul Warren Poetry
