Confusions Son
Of warriors many – - - daughters – sons!
Was it not ‘yours’ – a song was sung?
Did you cherish them – spit - or shun?
Did you help - support - or leave them hung?
Too soon forgotten - simply ‘gone’ -
so many fallen - leaving One:
Stalin, Churchill, - - Napoleon,
Hussein, Grant, Harry Truman.
Bush, Hitler, Washington,
Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Genghis Khan.
Please! In your mind continue on!
Forgotten billions dead – but remembering One
Of which controlled the arrows and guns.
Scratching – Wondering – What was won . . .?
I was Born (I think) - - - ‘Confusions’ Son!
