It was forgotten in it's time because no one cared about being civil and listening to what EVERYONE wanted and being at peace with one another. They thought fighting in a war would help them simmer their dispute. Today, we don't fight over lands and things as much as we used to. While South America and North America are still fighting, *not in a huge war* it's not the same as it was then.
Answer:
Tom is a politician that everyone knows,
One educated, labourer soul,
My role model and everything I would like to become.
When I've first time heard your speech,
And all the things you said on TV, I knew
To whom I will give my trust and my future
So you can lead me in better tomorrow,
On all your efforts, visions and thoughts, but
Now you are retiring and all is gone.
