I’ve been asked to explain the words “Never A Gain”!
So I’ll limn it here plain, all that’s “Never A Gain”:
Death, destruction and pain define Never A Gain,
like a pale hurricane, warfare’s Never A Gain,
often wars steal terrain, plunder’s Never A Gain,
even wars on the wane, really Never A Gain,
over ten million slain, frankly Never A Gain.
Although diplomats feign (pretend’s Never A Gain) ,
and abuse might and main (thralldom’s Never A Gain),
trying tricks and chicane achieves Never A Gain.
Where the children have lain, voids are Never A Gain,
limber limbs torn in twain, doubly Never A Gain,
fearful famine, mundane, by God Never A Gain;
warriors say it’s humane though there’s Never A Gain.
Army hordes raising Cain exhume Never A Gain,
bloody battles, though vain, produce Never A Gain,
whether guns or ******* shots wreak Never A Gain;
though the dead don’t complain, dying’s Never A Gain.
Atom bombs from a plane bestow Never A Gain,
lethal neutrons aflame beget Never A Gain,
with a nuclear rain, all’s lost, Never A Gain.
In a sandy domain, victory’s Never A Gain.
Desert blood down the drain? A clot’s Never A Gain.
And though dunes will remain, a grave’s Never A Gain.
Global war, so insane, provides Never A Gain,
whether Gaza, Ukraine, death deals Never A Gain.
In that graveyard domain, regret’s Never A Gain
and a soul’s reddened stain’s also Never A Gain.
Can we learn from the slain that war’s Never A Gain?
YES!!!
Since it’s Never A Gain...
well then, Never Again!
