In general most wars are pointless In general children get killed In general cities do vanish In general the missiles hit The general takes the decisions But in general he does not smell the smell of fire In general he does not hear the people scream In general he only counts the hits and all the rest generally is seen as calculated side effects He gives the orders To push the **** To fly the jet To drop the bomb It is precision but that's precisely the problem of a general war

In general the general - Little poetry by Peter Heerings
In general most wars are pointless In general children get killed In general cities do vanish In general the missiles hit The general takes the decisions But in general he does not smell the smell of fire In general he does not hear the people scream In general he only counts the hits and all the rest generally is seen as calculated side effects He gives the orders To push the **** To fly the jet To drop the bomb It is precision but that's precisely the problem of a general war
