Poem: War

Hey everyone! Sorry, I’ve been so busy with school. Tomorrow I’m going to a Homecoming dance, so I’ve got something to look forward to this weekend. Here’s another poem, enjoy!!πŸ˜€

***

Battles and death

Is this what those 

Leaders in a cold room

Wish for?

People fighting for a cause

They have no interest in

Sent to their deaths

Killing innocent people

No one is the enemy

Except the leaders in their halls

No war really ends

Because no peace ever exists

There’s only the illusion of it

Masked voices and the secrets

Kept safe with the dead

For what?

They make terrible weapons

Amass great armies

But no one ever tries

To make peace

Families torn apart

Villages emptied 

Unanswered letters

From your father or mother

War is the worst

Because it not only kills people

It scars the survivors

And destroys the illusion of peace

***

I hope you all have a great week/weekend. Thank you so much for all the support! πŸ˜™
