Very true. War paints the earth red and put a smile on the leders' faces. sad, but true.
Very touching. Earlier people warred to save or protect their territories. Now war is thurst on citizens to satisfy the personal agenda of politicians. Innocent lives are put out for nothing. All that you hear from the power mongers is... a guiltless hypocritical hollow and empty regrets. They just abrase the lips from the surrounding air. people and youth are affordable losses and just 'collateral damages'. The reason is simple. Middle class always aspired to reach this place and is a silent partner to this mayhem. If it wakes up, wish it wakes up ASAP, it is good for them as well as for the people a rung below.
Great poem, dave. It really got me thinking. War is pretty much the most ridiculas thing in this god for sakin planet. Keep 'em commin'!
Well said. War! Costs soldiers their lives, the common people their dignity if an unjust one, the workers their taxes, but makes a fortune for arms manufacturers and speculators.
Wow, a true reflection of reality, and a call for justice to be made, I sincerely respect the message in this poem, instead of a education being fed, young men are forced into paths with no future life guarantee, great piece!
The picture of contemporary world in which there is no safety for our sons. Wars are taking away precious lives.This kind of work will surely bring awareness. Nice work. Marks 10
war is misappropriation of human resources.great poem, my friend - with best wishes
Potently to the point Dave. No words wasted, and heavy hits on the main targets. Can't argue with a word of it. It's important that people who care express themselves publicly on this particular issue. Valuable stuff. jim
[War can make many scars in mind] And those who hold the sword will die by that sword! ! ! An excellent poem! ! !
Nearly swore when I read it Dave. How very very true. We call it war but no country has declared it. Mmm...Money it's definitely for, I never thought of a NWO once but now I do. Great Write as always Dave. Regards Craig.
Wars bring such tremendous sorrow, it hurts everyone, and it's usually just for momentary gain........ Very deep and lovely poem, fantastic write.
