$3.00

A poem about the futility of war, any war.

FUTILITY : 6 stanzas each of 4 lines about the futility of war.

 

They sing “Advance Australia Fair”,

He hears “God Save the King”.

His body’s firmly on the ground,

His mind has taken wing.

 

He’s trudging through a foreign field

Too tired to feel much fear,

Or is it that he’s found life cheap

Which once he’d held so dear.
