Tanaka Chirombo - World war one

War of the great powers
Over four countries took part
Rifles were also used to kill in the war
Land was taken from countries
Dead men rotted in the trenches

Weapons were used to kill
Although people got shell shocks
Recruitment was one of the most things men had to do

On water
Navy's battle first shot was in Malawi
Even though war killed us all
