11 of 30.   The Eleventh Hour.

On the Eleventh Hour of

The Eleventh Day

The Guns fell silent.

Some of the most famous

Words ever spoken.

They declared that was

“The War to end All Wars”.

But no, It was the War

That began all future wars,

Wars without rules

Wars where seemingly

Only the innocent die.

In modern warfare,

There are so many weapons,

So many substances that kill.

Kill so many at will. Men fight

Women weep, as they seek

To house and feed their children.

Refugees walk and walk

Hoping for a different life.

Seeking a new country

A better life, when they arrive

They find that country

Unwelcoming and no home there.

How did this come about?

Fighting has gone on since

Time immemorial - will it

Go on until only one man stands??

(I must add, these are my own thoughts,
