GHOSTS OF WAR

nephilim56

An open road
Frost at dawn
Soldiers ghosts
Brave the storm
Each step taken
Leads nowhere
An endless road
An endless stare.

Forward to
The battles roar
Muskets crack
Cannonballs soar
A witness none
To graphic scene
An endless road
To nowhere leads.

    • nephilim56

      had to check on meaning , I think it applies to all wars, thanks for comment

    • Poetic Licence

      I sense a asking what are wars for as generally no one is better off after one, nicely expressed and written

      • nephilim56

          The pointlessness of war and all the consequences it brings. A cold read. This may be taken as a metaphor and an internal war within oneself.
