What Have We Done

The ghost of my grandad came 
to see me.
He wanted to let me know.
He fought to make a better 
Europe.
He fought to let us grow.
To grow in peace and prosperity.
To see all colours as one.
To embrace each others cultures.
To live in peace as one.

My grandad sat down beside me.
He looked into my soul.
He shrugged his shoulders coldly.
And said:
Fools, what have you done?
