For What?

"Thousands of wives to be widowed; Millions of mothers to mourn; Thousands in sorrow to wait the to-morrow; Millions of hearts to be torn;
"Thousands of fathers to perish; Millions of children to moan; Ages of time to prepare for a crime, That sons can never atone;
"Thousands of homes to be shattered; Millions of prayers to be vain; Thousands of ways to the glory that pays, In poverty, panic, and pain;
"Twelve million men in God's image, Sentenced to shoot and be shot, Kill and be killed, as a ruler has willed, For what — for what — for what?"
