Short poetry about war.

I'm tire of war and violence.

                            



              What is left?

The dead will not rise.
War steal the best from us.
Who remember the people in the mass graves?





            



                         Children cry, Soldier die

Old friend you were killed in Iraq.
So far from the safety of your home.
I cried with your children and parent.
You are not forgotten.
A father's love is never forgotten.




                          White crosses

How many fields of white crosses are needed.
Soldiers will die and great cities will fall.
War leave no victors.
Only homeless and desperate people paying for the cost of war.


                                Coyote

Author's Note

The great leaders are yelling revenge. Don't send guns. Send water, food and medicine. Lockup the leaders in a room like the day of the unions. Can't come out till the chaos of hate is broken.

It is beyond my comprehension why mankind ever thought war was a good idea. We are supposed to be reasoning creatures with the innate ability to make choices. We are not supposed to be driven by instinct, yet we chose to have wars. There should be a better way to settle our differences. Yet if we found one, the problem is the maniacal figures in history who only understand force. How do you stop them without war? Unfortunately a paradox.

Terrific poem! I am so sorry to hear of your loss of a friend and loving father, too many die for no good reason!

It is a hard world today. Threats before talks of peace. Great cities falling and woman/children dying. I pray for poor Syria. I pray the warmonger nations stay away from distance lands. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Very sad poetry Coyote, all too true. Your words are affecting here, there is no sense of war, in the bigger picture of life, it shows how very flawed humans are, not seeing the ruthlessness, inhumanity and insanity of it all. Thanks for sharing this outstanding poem.

Thank you Frieda for reading. Everyday more useless killing. Hard for even us old people like me to understand the purpose of violence and war.

I think most people feel as you do Coyote, I'm with you, let the leaders duke it out and be done with it....

first rule war is fight between two equals.
occording to me thats not war, its a way to show the world that ego is bigger than human life...
