THE WORLD AT WAR

The priest of Ares was at the marshaling,
Bloated by allegiances of the princes of Axis of evil.
He crossed the Rubicon,
Riding headlong on legions of steel horses.
The Luftwaffe herded,
Smoldering eyes of Caucasian skies.

But the suddenness was as blitzkrieg.
Poland fell at the instant.
The tale petrified the littorals
And all the world allied to sluggish their fate.
Now at the carnage was a malcontent,
Maddened by Chamberlain’s dream of an empire where the sun never sets.
…called the world to war which was the second.


And behind lines of engagement generals arranged the fight
And chose the arena.
Countrymen acceded;
Statesmen did the boastings.
To prove true the boasters,
Young men were called up to buffet the madness of the devil,
To defend nay perturbations of statesmen,
And to orphan lads and widow wives who did them no wrong.

The sons of adventure came in the millions,
In same magnitude perished they pro patria*.
For a peace that left them without,
And a victory that at the least cost
Would be a world set to approbated self-destruction.

*Latin; for the father land
