War

For All Those Who Have Suffered

By Mystik SerpentPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Bombed down to the ground

blood dyed the land

trees turned to charcoal

and water escaped the land

Neighbours became enemies

siblings forgot their relativity

children died in mother's arms

fathers grieved for all they had

Civilizations have turned to dust

strange with essence of life

wasted by greed of rich men

victimized by war agendas

All that’s left from the war is

families that are apart and far

broken hearts that will never be mend

desperation, destruction, damnation

along with losers and winners of the war

but who really is the winner?

those who lost their land? their home? their family?

or those who defeated the supposed enemy

those who came back home missing a leg

or those who martyred in agony

The morals which stop you from going to war

are superior to the ones that start a war

don't heed the call of the real enemy

who promises you money to kill your own kind

brothers and sister that if you met elsewhere

would invite you over for lunch and chai

The greedy men of war

will promise you blood money

stolen from land and people

who would never wish you harm

even if money is what you need

blood money doesn't do any good

don't waste your youth hating others

make peace with your brothers and sister

no matter what race, region or religion

There is no love in war

There is no love in war

There is no love in war.
