When
By Karl Davis
When the world plumped for conflict,
When the young marched and fell,
When the ones with the purse strings bought them tickets to hell,
When the mothers fell earthwards,

When the heroes marched homeward
When they finally won
When nobody could remember quite why it begun,
When we grew up round shellshock
