An
archduke was shot.
The new shot
heard around the world.
Weapons were
built.
A new war
sparked.
Alliances
formed.
Germany,
Austria, Italy
Russia, France,
Britain,
They stood
against each other.
Pushed each
other.
Never gaining
ground.
Monsters rumbled
over land
Bringing
destruction to lives and property.
The Wright
Brothers’ innocent invention turned to war as well.
People lived, fought
and died in the trenches.
Both sides
bravely faced their bloody stalemate.
Europe became a
black hole of war.
Americans
preached isolationism
But war came to
them anyway.
Lusitania opened
the door to America.
A solution
finally came.
Mr. Wilson’s
pipe dream,
The bubble from
his head
Of a perfect
world
Happy and
peaceful
here nations
could bring their problems to a league.
The Treaty of
Versailles
Turned the
league into reality.
Peace reigned
supreme.
The war seemed to
be over
For now.
