It all started with the shooting,
the one in Sarajevo.
The archduke and his wife now are both gone,
because of the Black Hand member,
that Gavrilo Princip.
He killed the next in line to rule,
because of just that.
Then the ultimatum was sent.
If a few tasks were said no to,
a war would break out.
That is just what happened.
Sides were joined,
and people fought.
Because of that shooting,
many people died.

Life’s all about the war.
Dig trenches,
live in the trenches,
poking guns out, only to shoot.
Never crossing No Man’s Land,
until the Christmas Truce.
The trenches kept expanding until they formed the fronts,
one on the the West and one on the East.
