Only Half a Memorial Day 2017

Politicians laud praise and beam About our heroes’ gift extreme Oh-so-young they died!! But the dream they’ve denied Is no more war as this day's theme Author's Note: I heard a lot of homage, but nothing that makes me believe that the significance of the sacrifice is understood by our leaders and many former soldiers who were interviewed. There is little hope for us if we haven't learned by now.

Great limerick, as you say. A lot of talking and no change. People on top have no reason to change. They would lose. 7 for sure. Even if there is no more scoring. :)
