War Is Hell! Poem by DM W

War Is Hell!

Rating: 5.0


War is hell when the devil is in complete
Command of darker forces, that tear bodies
From limb to limb, in the twinkling of an eye.
It's often caused by vast tapestries of lies!
Truth is usually the first casualty.
O those who control the cold machinery
Couldn't give a damn about the body count;
Or about wild protestors who scream and shout!
These callous operators sit behind their desks.
O their cruel, conniving minds can never rest!
And, in the end, all that remains is scorched earth.
Please God, tell me what humanity is worth? !
