Celebrated Victories, Gone
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
What hatred stays benefit,
Who.
What wars to escalate them,
Get to prove.
Besides a hopeful win.
With no one left to begin,
A peace believed humanity...
Will ever see again.
Not even warriors of horrors,
Are left to be awarded.
And praised.
Gone.
Celebrated victories,
Gone!
Not even warriors of horrors,
Are left to be awarded.
And praised.
What hatred stays to benefit,
Who.
What wars to escalate them,
Get to prove.
Besides a hopeful win.
Humanity will ever see again.
Not even warriors leaving horrors behind,
Are left awarded or be praised.
Gone.
Celebrated victories kept in memories,
Gone.
Celebrated victories kept in memories,
Gone.
What hatred stays to benefit,
Who.
What hatred stays to benefit,
Who.
What hatred stays to benefit...
Who!
