Virginia Euwer Wolff Quotes

While I Fold Laundry I Memorize Things For School,
dates Of Wars:
French Ones, African Ones, Russian Ones,
battles Of All Ugly Kinds.
It's A Shame To Have Us Hopeful Young Students
learn These Horrible Things.
Exactly The Kind Of Behaving
they Have Told Us Over And Over Again Not To Do
is What The History Class Is Full Of,
full-grown Adults Making These Wars:
killing Each Other For Land, For Religions,
for Greed And More Greed,
Why Bother To Have Children And Educate Them
and Invent Things To Make Their Lives Better,
just To Send Them Off To War And Get Slaughtered?
