WAR POEMS

Flanders' Killing Fields

FLANDERS' KILLING FIELDS

​

By Josie Whitehead

​

 

In Flanders' mighty killing fields,
Where young found no protective shields,
     Cruel weapons with rapacious greed
     Sought out young lives on which to feed.

​

Each year mankind will not abstain,
Whilst warring causes death and pain.
     There’s unity in face of threat,
      When man, with danger, is beset.

​

Man’s problem solving’s still the same,
And does it not seem such a shame
     That when it comes to push and shove
     There seems no residency for love?
