Love and Warfare

Its a wonder that one ever learns to love in this world

This world riddled with hate and war, curled

Love is something golden and pure

Not some twisted game of torture one must endure

Love should be all that is honest and grand

Yet some make it demented to the point that one can no longer stand

So in a sad and wrong way love is like war

For some form of a happy ending one must seek upon old folklore

The word love is too oftenly misused

The word always being so abused

Barely anyone knows what it truely means to love anymore

We are all to often caught up in somebody elses war

Somebody elses fight, Somebody elses life

Why must we live and deal with such a strife

With all of this bloody warfare

Love is something that is only going to slowly rip and tare

Die slowly from a bullet wound

or quickly from a blade finely tuned

Every story must come to some sort of end

Our love most of us will try to defend

But when it comes to a sorrowful close

It was never really worth it,I suppose

That is something i am always saying to people and writing about!!!!!! But do many listen or believe? F**k no! I LOVE that stanza, it summarizes the whole poem and what love has become these days. Society has absolutely ruined the name of love and abuses the term to get a piece off a*s or posession over someone.

That is exactly what has become of love today, people dont see it for what it truly is and it ends accordingly. With the way love has died, it is barely worth searching for anymore! Love has died through the greedy ignorance of mankind. Excellent poem, favoriting.
