ODES OF WAR

I think of the day when all this bloodshed

would splash on the flags and stain them red

The day we would wish we don't have to teach our kids

how to draw flags with stains of red

Trapped in a place where bullets of lead

are the lines between the living and the dead

That day those soldiers shooting shells

cozened to fight for leaders living well

Would wish they fought instead 

for their sons hugs and lovers beds

Would wish they fought to live than fought to die

with a chandelier of guilt hanging in mind

War leave no winners. Just poor people in the way of war. A powerful poem. I do not understand how killing and war keep coming. With new media. Who would want war for their people? Only greedy men and madmen. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

A great wake up call and message of peace. The innocent are the most affected by those vicious wars while the leaders benefit and live good lives. Bravo................
