Tears that rolls
Sighing silently
At the painful sight
Of the many dead bodies.
Straddling the path of war
A battlefield proudly called,
Soulless bodies of fighters
Lie covering the grass green.
This land begets man to live
But, the lawless ones
Beget them to live to kill
And to go waste prematurely.
Cheap indeed the cost of human lives
Winners none, losers many
In between the bloodsucking woes
Hypocrites of war dance gaily.

From your pen to those idiots who keep fighting! When we fought like that, we got sent to our rooms. Can't they grow up!?
ReplyDeleteHi guys...thanks very much for your comments.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written. The folly and wickedness of a small number of people condemning the rest to blood and death.
