Cannon-fodder to the War God tendered,<br>Deluded boys, primed with vainglorious dreams<br>Of flashing steel, romance - war's outworn story <br>Sent forth to gasp young lives out in foul streams<br>Of fetid gas - meet attributes of glory!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">These be the fruits: This tortured shred of flesh,<br>Lately a youth, with youth's bright gifts scarce tasted<br>Sent to the shambles, while, still clear and fresh<br>In minds of men, the Lesson lingers, wasted <br>The Lesson tought but lately; and so plain,<br>That even fools its wisdom here might borrow;<br>For victor and for vanquished, war's sole gain<br>Lies in long after years of pain and sorrow.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Fruits? Dead-sea fruits, most bitter with the taste<br>Of all war's grim bequest of worse confusion.<br>God and men's bodies, fruitful earth laid waste <br>Not in dire need, but for a vain delusion,<br>And, in the end, a tinsel god who prates<br>Of hollow victories, crying, 'Tomorrow<br>Shall we triumphant rise!' While at the gates<br> Lurks a land's heritage - relentless Sorrow.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Clarence+Michael+James+Stanislaus+Dennis">Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis</a><div class=q>
