No More War

N o more soldiers coming home in boxes O ver grandiose visions of arrogant leaders M en and women dying in the prime of life O n foreign soil, far from family and loved ones R isking life and limb for some abstract principle E ntering Heaven prematurely, Earthly wings clipped W rite your Congressmen, your Senators, the President A nd tell them we're tired of being the world's policeman R est not easy 'til Peace, lasting Peace, reigns supreme October 02, 2019 Three Word Acrostics Poetry Contest Sponsor: Bobby May

Powerful poem, Gershon. Indeed we certainly are tired of the needless deaths and injuries. An important poem.

That is what Ron Paul used to say...no more being the policeman of the world. Well done Gershon! :)
