What is a War grandpa?

The innocent boy speaks out.

He zaps another alien

on his X box cube.

And he asks the question again.

What is a War Grandpa?

Is it as exciting as this?

Grandpa sits with a tear in his eye

What is a war? He says

but in his mind he thinks

the unspeakable times he had.

What is a War Grandpa?

The innocent boy speaks again.

War, is something, I hope you’ll never see.

Where you in the war Grandpa?

A War to end all Wars

sixty years on , the futility

strikes him again.

What did you do in the War Grandpa?

I killed just like you are in the game.

The only problem is

they were real

and it was never ever a game.

What were you in the war Grandpa?

A soldier fully equipped?

I was a sniper boy who sneaked and hid

and did my killing bit.

Did you enjoy the War Grandpa?

I’ve nearly killed all of the men

I’ll win the War, destroy the town

Will you be proud of me then?

Smiled the little innocent boy.
