The Reality of War

Captain Max Lerner said in an article, “all I have to do is think of my own Mother and sisters and the way they felt every time the doorbell rang.”

THE REALITY OF WAR

Off to war they have gone

Sons and daughters wave "So long!"

They all expect to return

But their parents' lives will crash and burn

What hell could ever bring

Is the doorbell that would ring

The foreign skirmish had set in stone tonight

Their beloved children aren't coming home alive

It is only a fact of war

Lives are taken and others torn

The anguish becomes to move on

In a life that has become far too long
