    The poem "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" by Pete Seeger explores the cyclical nature of life through a series of rhetorical questions. It references how flowers are picked by young girls, young girls are taken by young men, young men go off to war as soldiers, and soldiers end up in graveyards, completing the cycle from life to death and back again with new generations. The repeating refrain of "When will they ever learn?" suggests this cycle will continue indefinitely.

    WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE?

    – by Pete Seeger

    Where have all the flowers gone, Where have all the soldiers gone,

    Long time passing? Long time passing?

    Where have all the flowers gone, Where have all the soldiers gone,

    Long time ago? Long time ago?

    Where have all the flowers gone? Where have all the soldiers gone?

    Young girls picked them every one. Gone to graveyards every one.

    When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

    When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

    Where have all the young girls gone, Where have all the graveyards gone,

    Long time passing? Long time passing?

    Where have all the young girls gone, Where have all the graveyards gone,

    Long time ago? Long time ago?

    Where have all the young girls gone? Where have all the graveyards gone?

    Gone to young men every one. Gone to flowers every one.

    When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

    When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

    Where have all the young men gone,

    Long time passing?

    Where have all the young men gone,

    Long time ago?

    Where have all the young men gone?

    Gone for soldiers every one.

    When will they ever learn?

    When will they ever learn?
