Fun and Games

First of autumn's festivals, Halloween
"All Soul's Day," also called.
A fortnight later, Armistice Day
commemorates "the war to end all wars,"

We know how that went. World War II followed,
a noble crusade against dark knights,
lead by a frustrated imitator of Charlie Chaplin

Why do wars never end?
Why does peace never start?
Basic flaw in human nature
Simple answer and more than obvious.
