Fraternity

Fraternity

A Poem by Elizabeth
"

why should differences bridge us?

"
Why must there be this war?
Can we stop this impending storm?
This battle against humanity
Will destroy all entities

With fierce eyes and hearts of steel
They won't listen,they won't heel
Without reason,without fear
Forgetting what they hold dear
With so much intent to fight
Losing sense of what is right

Station at your battlefield
The most blood-who will yield?
Slaughter,slaughter endlessly
Till both sides tire and admit defeat

Then when the war stops
Among the carnage, realization dawns
With tears stinging their eyes
the enemies embrace each other
for they realized that they are all brothers

I am in love with your reviews!! They have really made my day. Thank you so much!
I love how this writing can not only be read for what you intended it to be, but it can also be placed in the context of nearly every war.

Thank you so much for your review!
this is my favorite.i can definitely relate to this. it's so sad really. my favorite lines though :
With fierce eyes and hearts of steel
They won't listen,they won't heel
Without reason,without fear
Forgetting what they hold dear
With so much intent to fight
Losing sense of what is right

=> this is so true

I am glad you have found a favorite. it is actually very sad. thank you for your words.
I think this poem could be used to question the reason for war. Its very symbolic and truly we are all brothers and sisters so why should we fight?
