My father changed history,
By fighting for this country in WW2,
Just like many others,
He did what he had to do…

Unpleasant as it seems,
Fighting war and witnessing death,
Witnessing his brothers,
Breathe their last breath…

This sadness repeats itelf,
And changes history all over again,
Bringing back the fighting,
To our children so hard to explain…

When will history repeat itself,
With more pleasant news,
Instead of the war and fighting,
No matter who wins, we all lose…
