WAR

WAR

The war seems to last forever
They fly the dead back home
Where people just ignore it
Go about their norm.....
The News barely mentions it
While Arlington overflows
Soldier after soldier
God only knows!

They bury their one and only son
Beneath red, white and blue
While taps play mournfully
Honouring what's due.......
Folks all gather round
Until the sun goes down
The war in Iraq continues
It's not just another 'noun'........
