It would be nice to see some more poems from when we were young here on WoL especially when the original sentiments continue to ring true down the decades as this does. A different war but just as horrifying as today's conflicts.
This feels like a prelude to John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over) which was released two years later. Read in context with the knowledge that you were just 15 years old makes this a highly thoughtful and evocative piece. Thanks for posting Phil.
