The Great War
Ordinary men casted for war
Generals needed an army of more
Then the army could finally score
Swords raised high and heads held upright
Surely you know what happened that night
Some say it was a terrible sight
What caused this terrible product
Was actually a military conflict
The puzzle complete with every click
Soldiers were crying
Slowly Dying
And some even goodbying
Disease spreading everywhere
The soldiers needed care
But there was no one even there
Swords are clinging
Ears are ringing
From cannons sweetly singing
Bombs exploding
People eroding
And soldiers are hurting
Crops were crushed
Where soldiers were in a rush
Oh they were growing so lush
Soldiers were covered in red
And their hair looks like they came out of bed
They were also poorly fed
One gun shot
Equals a great cost
And caused so much money to be lost
So many people killed
I guess some people with a gun were skilled
Some people were not very thrilled
The fight started very small
But soon it turned into a huge brawl
The economy took a fall
Farmers were mad
All the crops went bad
Children were sad
Everything was damaged
Children were famished
They had vanished
Bombs left grass black
Fields were attacked
People who were alive came back
Children cried
Because their father died
Mothers held them tight
Farmers were dead
Which meant trouble ahead
Oh how were children going to be fed
The economy came crashing down
With hardly any food around
How are people going to live in this small small town
Everywhere was affected
The crops looked neglected
Everything that happened was expected
People built back everything strong
Surely it would hold up long
Boy were they wrong
Life returned normal again
That was finally the end
