Cry for Peace by robina1978

I hate every war
Why have they always been?
We all want to stop them!
None left, not even one

All fights over and done
Centuries of much blood
Remembrance Days world-wide
Some blood nearly caused flood

Young lives were sacrificed
What purpose did they serve?
I am sure most condemn
Better fate: young deserve

I hate every war
Graves with men side by side
War brides grieving, crying
Politicians abide

Author Notes
The Ampeletum form consists of 4 quatrains of 6 syllable lines. The meter is up to you and the rhyme scheme is Abcb bded fgcg Aehe so that rhymes in one stanza are picked up in another. The capital A designates that the first line of stanza 1 is repeated as the first line of stanza 4. No specific meter here used.
