A war for nothing

Migithehp

 

bodies lie on the ground

there is not a living soul around

another epic battle fought

for reasons we know naught

both sides suffer

neither succeed

both sides bleed

many have died

all lost and at what cost

a war of greed 

no one will concede

hatred between friends

does this sadness ever end

bonds are broken

without one word spoken

brother fought brother

set against each other

in a war for our freedom

yet they never truely succeeded

brothers fathers and sons

leave home with their guns

lovers husbands and friends

never to be seen again

    War nowadays is a disgusting boom time for the arms (and legs - sick) industry. And still we allow our children to be indoctrinated with war ethic by allowing computer console combat games into our homes. Is this the way forward?

    Very deep. War is a horrible thing that takes away loved ones through death and survival. This is wonderfully expressed.

  • Poetic Dan

    A pen warrior you are, there are so many on this site. Thank you all I'll share something you made play in my head from a guy call nahko bear;

    So we burn a little sage and write poetry
    Wiser than the enemy will ever be
    The minority
    And authority
    Are you here to protect or arrest me?
    I can’t tolerate the hate, and I'm losing sleep
    Can’t breathe, cause they’re choking out a war in me
    Immorality

    Hope you didn't mind, this was great thank you again for this piece of art.
