Sixteen million lives were lost; the war to end all wars
That war was just the prelude to a greater war that reared
Der Fuhrer was a Nationalist – all Europe was destroyed
And Europe’s bitter memories kept peace some eighty years
But memories have died away; each generation new
Learns not the lessons of the past, embracing fascist ways
Of white supremacy, opposed in everything they do
To unifying institutions keeping Europe safe
It does appear our President abets these right-wing kooks
Embracing their philosophy, our institutions damned
He’s ignorant of history; he never reads a book
With right-wing, dire conspiracies his mixed-up head is crammed
Profoundly I salute all you who’ve served to keep us free
But I denounce draft-dodger Trump whose term has been a bane
Who abrogates what you fought for; no patriot is he
He’ll not achieve what he conceives; your time’s not been in vane
