another way to format your poem:

I don't know what to say to you anymore.

Your choices seem absurd,

and I wonder if you look at this world anymore.

War is raging in Baghdad,

and I ask you to pray for the innocents,

but apparently they're not people anymore.

Peace is boring.

For our safety we cannot hesitate

to bring the fight to them over there.

Who knows where the next attack could happen.

Anywhere.

Who really cares anymore.

We'll fight them on any shore to protect freedom,

leave them bloodied and bleeding,

freedom beaten into their stilled hearts.

Do you care anymore?

Your smirk, a sign that reminds me

you're a man who really doesn't care anymore,

and I really don't know what to say to you anymore.

Another suggestion

"and peace is boring, for our safety we cannot hesitate

to bring the fight to them over there, who knows

where the next attack could happen,

anywhere, who really cares

anymore,"

What eve did is fine, I like this formatting though. I've used it. The problem is, it has to be consistent, Long, shorter, shorter, one word. The word has to have impact, "anymore" in all these places does not have that impact.

This is an excellent format for what you are trying to say.

And I like what you are trying to say.
