Glimpse Of WWI

Who knew one bullet from a Siberian’s gun 
Would be the trigger for World War I 
This would set off a chain of events 
As will create many shelter tents 
 
Germany, Russia against Britain and France 
This was one deadly dance 
If one of them missed one beat, 
Then they would suffer a tragic defeat 
  
People joined from the Commonwealth 
But that was when they were in good health   
In the end, the British and French got some traction 
Putting Germany out of action 

On 11am on the 11th of November 
The guns fell silent upon German surrender   
In the battle of blood and sweat 
100 years hence, lest we forget.
