They Gave Us A War That Nobody Wanted

A poem by Patrick O'Donnell

I

They gave us a war that nobody wanted
The warnings unheard or simply discounted
The men of the Pentagon surely undaunted
Gave us a war that nobody wanted

II

The weapons of war are tested and counted
Military hardware displayed and dismounted
Allies ignored and the enemy taunted
They gave us a war that nobody wanted

III

Divisions of men and weaponry flaunted
Ships tanks and planes in quantity granted
By death and destruction civilians are haunted
They gave us a war that nobody wanted

IV

Prime ministers presidents and generals have ranted
Television pictures and news are being slanted
Voices are raised and slogans are chanted
They gave us a war that nobody wanted

V

High powered weapons and missiles are vaunted
The guns have been fired and the bombs have been planted
All shall be well when the foe is surmounted
They gave us a war that nobody wanted

VI

When the conflict is over and the story recounted
We'll forget the destruction and horror implanted
But remember the soldiers and statesman enchanted
By this terrible war that nobody wanted

I think it's funny how the model of tank in this picture was never even mass produced let alone used in combat.

No more wars... Heh. Good thing that some people are still naive. They bring the hope by their "stop all wars" ideology. However, this can't stop the steam roller of wars.

So true, like the Western elites have too much military and fiancial power for the good of humanity and favor a light form of fascism with a illusion of democracy.

let me put it like this: if poland would fufill hitlers request at september the 1st there would probably be no II world war ( only war between russia and germany, not in europe) so.. good thing right? no. because our dear ostereicher would kill far more than 3 milion jews. he would kill them all. sometimes war is the only solution to stop more bloodshed.
