Of War And It's Bloodshed

[Akito0o]

Of war and it's bloodshed far too much we know
Let's hear it for peace and for all a fair go
Nationalism, Religion, Patriotism and Culture only seem to divide
And war leaders declare we have God on our side.

For centuries of war wisdom we do not show
The war supposed to end all wars ended decades ago
Yet at the war memorial the last post is still played
And for the returned war heroes there is one more parade.

War only cause heartbreak the facts never lie
And every day in war zones more people do die
And even every war winner in human lives pay the cost
And victory cannot taste sweet with so many lives lost.

This latest so called war on terror based only on fear
So many evil people from the propagandists we hear
But it takes two to fight and two wrongs never make a right
And the egotistical war men one can say not that bright

I wrote this after a friend died fighting in Afghanistan.

You give a history lesson without telling what happened and who was in it and when it was, it also tells how you feel. Keep writing your feelings out, friend.

You can learn a lot from a short poem, and you proved that here. You did a pretty good job on this, keep writing more =]

[TheDesertFox]

Your poem does a great job in showing that no matter how many wars we fight, we never learn and continue to start wars at the cost of so many lives.
Keep up the good writing.

I like your poem because it points out the fact that each side think they are right when they couldn't be more wrong.And I'm sorry for what happened your friend.
