Sense Sonnet - Pumper

George McGovern

George McGovern, American,
Who served his nation and world well.
A World War II vet, he was one
Who felt first hand why war is hell.
The first U.S. Senator to
Early warn against Vietnam.
A warning that later came true,
Trapped inside that ticking time bomb.
If Watergate winds had soon blown,
And from past mistakes we did learn,
A war torn nation would have known
A President George McGovern.

Thanks, George McGovern. Rest in peace.
You leave a world where war won't cease.
