11/11/11--Veterans Day. Would it be so, that on this day, Sometime in the mist and fog of the future, That there would be no further murdered bodies To revere and remember. The entire world might have learned That war and killing does nothing to solve things; Rather that the future day would be for those Who served and died long ago-- Warfare would have become an obsolete word and action And the children of the world Would travel and meet, and laugh and understand each other And prejudice and hatred would be unknown.
