Click hereWe all stood by, watching
We frowned cupped our chins
We made small notes and kept silent
Letting the horror unfold as it would
Not acting even though we should
We all held back, waiting
We shook our heads slowly
We sighed softly impatient
Seeing the detritus build fast
Eager to see what would last
We all took part, knowingly
We accepted our evil
We played our vile roles
Allowing war to tear us apart
So that misery we could chart
stately and moving and stark. The last line seems forced to make the rhyme though. I think you can rework the same idea in that line and find a way to make it smoother. But it is a powerful poem.

as potent as ever. the foreshadowing to the final stanza was weighted beautifully, just enough in each to draw you on. the finishing of each stanza with a rhyming couplet highlighted that for me and set those lines in concrete, you could almost read them as a poem in and of themselves but I prefer the build up into it :-)
