There is an anger to this land,
A destructive resonance in the air.
There is a raging rape of life,
A pillaging of land once beautiful
Now desolate with the ruins of war.
A steady rain of rapid gunfire,
And a sniper targeting those who will die.

There is an anger to this land,
A rumbling building disharmony of molten lava.
A wave of red hot anger
Spewing through villages and lives,
Destroying life.
A building anger of greed and frustration
Burning and killing
That which stands in its way.

War Wages

A statement of a view that may very well be true,

made in words of strength and passion.

Short, and something to think about.

Not everyone's concept of poetry or philosophic choice,

but something everyone should think about.

War. What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing...

it is not easy to write about war, I have heard that said, and it is true. sometimes we just have to do it. Your feelings are expressed very clearly in this poem.
