A Room of My Own: A Day, As Usual

written in response to the Great War's/World War I's slogan: the war to end all wars.

war after war news
lengthening the morning chill
Remembrance Sunday

FYI: "It was the British author, H.G. Wells, that coined the expression: 'The war that will end war' to describe World War One, which had broken out in Europe in September 1914. Wells believed the conflict would create a new world order that would make future conflict impossible."

And Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law: Today, it monitors more than 110 armed conflicts and provides information about parties, the latest developments, and applicable international law. Some of these conflicts make the headlines, others do not. Some of them started recently, while others have lasted for more than 50 years.
