WRATH TO WAILING

 

Wrath to wailing

 

 As the sword rose   

 above the bed         

 pointing towards the dead

  

 A hymn I chant 

 to cure my friend      

 from the deadly warfare

 

 Soldier for the rest                                                               

 but a friend in my chest   

 a brave young man                      
  laid there dead
 
  Among all the other men     
  smeared in red                                     
  with a lack of breath                     
  and a beat in the chest

  Lay millions miles away         
  from where I dragged
  by the hand                                
  to the temple gate

  A soldier, a friend, a brother had died                      

  leaving  his child and wife   
  barren but yet alive

  Saved his state 
  he did it well               
  but to what extent?

  But there is a person     
  to be blamed                   
  people of the world            
  who know nothing but fame

  Through the ashes               
  they burn eyelashes            
  of those whose families they sustain

  My friend I dragged                
  to the temple gate
  where I let him lay

  His last he breathed                  
  of this bloody air               
  which had betrayed many men  

  A wrath to wailing                        
  as I gave in                
  covering my mouth as I screamed big               
  washing my anger I thanked god       
  for giving me yet another chance          

  to make peace with my heart

There's a story, there's a message this was intelligent and had devastating impact on the reader, making him realize of the superficial word we live in. Good write, hopefully we all can find some peace in this world designed for mayhem

Your title is the perfect description of war; it is never anything but anger and tears. I like the concept of making peace with your heart.
