Excellent

CD, that's very good, and so appropriate for the times we live in.

I love the last lines:

So if you'd rather not be poor,
don't take your nation off to war.

Well done.

An excellent "word" poem highlighting "Carthaginian"
echoes of WWI and the Treaty of Versailles
Love the rhyming of conclude/screwed
Don't take your guns to town
don't march off to another war
Oh how many times we've heard those words before
Excellent poem
Robert

Thank you, Robert, for the very kind and thoughtful comments. Yes indeed, the Treaty of Versailles is the exact example referenced in my little book when discussing the concept. All the best, Craig
