Carl Sandburg - WarsCarl Sandburg - Wars
Work rating: Medium


In the old wars drum of hoofs and the beat of shod feet. In the new wars hum of motors and the tread of rubber tires. In the wars to come silent wheels and whirr of rods not     yet dreamed out in the heads of men. In the old wars clutches of short swords and jabs into     faces with spears. In the new wars long range guns and smashed walls, guns     running a spit of metal and men falling in tens and     twenties. In the wars to come new silent deaths, new silent hurlers     not yet dreamed out in the heads of men. In the old wars kings quarreling and thousands of men     following. In the new wars kings quarreling and millions of men     following. In the wars to come kings kicked under the dust and     millions of men following great causes not yet     dreamed out in the heads of men.
