Who Loses the War?

The men who lose their lives. 

The women who lose their husbands, brothers and

sons. 

The children who lose their fathers. 

The workers who lose their wages, who have to

pay high rents and high prices. 

The fathers who love their boys. 

The mothers who have to go out and work too

soon before and too soon after the boy’s birth. 

The child who goes to work instead of to school.

The babies who die from want and lack of

mother’s care, sacrificed to feed the fires of war. 

The young girls who can never be wives and

mothers. 

The soldiers’ widows and orphans who will starve

on their pensions. 

The nation which is robbed of its young men and

unborn children. 

All those who have brains to think and hearts to

love humanity. 

All these different classes of people who want the

war to stop at once. 

Are you one?
