The Futile War
World War 1
A Letter From A Mother
The war is pointless and unfair in my opinion. My son was drafted and forced to be apart of the war. It is a war that we do not need to get involved in. My son could be injured or even killed for reasons he and the res of our family do not believe in. He could be taken prisoner and be tortured. I disagree with this war because it was all started because each country wanted to be the biggest and most powerful instead of just getting along. It is a dumb reason to go to war and it is unbelievable that much of the war is now involved.
A Childs Point of View
This War...
I am very mad
I am not glad
It is not rad
This war is dumb
It is worth a plum
As useful as already chewed gum
It hurts my bum
This war took Chad
He is my dad
Now I am sad
Come back dad
