Armistice

As the wind blows west,

a low cloud passes;

artillery shells,

filled with chemical gases.

From north to south,

bogged down in the trench,

first stood the English,

the Germans, and the French.

With battleships, airplanes, tanks,

machine guns and more,

came the war,

that was supposed to end all wars.

Until the very last second,

when the armistice was signed,

each country would fight,

to hold their line.

So on November eleventh,

we pay tribute,

to those who fought in the trenches

and fields where they lay;

a time that was originally called,

'Armistice Day'.
