The Lie of War

by Liza and Holly aged 12

War is so dreadful.
But maybe successful
Fight for one’s country,
Yet never be free.

Telling your loved ones the same old lie,
That this won’t be our last goodbye.
Come on lads,
Make your dads proud.
You soon will be bowed.

But don’t get your hopes up.
As you are on thin ice,
So don’t let yourself pay the bing bang price.
