Guns are all now silent,
The killings all been done,
The boys are coming home,
The war’s ended, but not for some,
The war to end all wars ended,
One hundred years ago,
The killings started over again,
No poppies in the meadow,
Civil war in Yemen,
The Saudis and Iran,
Russia starts an arms race,
Trump’s wall building plan,
Caravan from Honduras,
Fleeing death and repulsion,
Troops at the Mexican border,
With guns and no discussion,
Mothers fears and lovers tears,
Of family they’ll never see again,
Shootings at schools and bars,
Talk of gun control all in vain.
