Futile
/Centre of Town
Gated community
Hallowed ground
Naval cemetery
Ancient headstones
Crumbling words
Young lives forsaken
Humanity absurd
Never learns from past
Discards lessons
Enduring lust for power
Repeated abominations
Difficult to accept
Futile pondering why
Century after century
Innocents continue to die
