War pigs

Just words

                                 War pigs

Does the child want war in the elementary school?
Do the mother want their daughter and son to die for people in faraway lands? 
People tell me. War is a part of us. We need war and war need us.
We will fight war till the end.

Today the cold war is back. The War pigs are singing to us. Need to kill and kill some more. They hate us and we need to destroy them. We must be like the Romans. Kill the enemy till the enemy is no-more. Send soldiers into populated areas and blow us complete cities.

The War Pigs want more money for war. 25% of every tax dollar for war USA citizen. A nickle of a percent for education and well being. Do you know how many places the USA soldiers are fighting?  134 or more.

Today the War pigs control our world. How many calls for revenge today?  How many threats of violence were spoke today? How many drones with no conscience were used today? How many soldiers had to decide to kill today?

Did anyone hear the word "peace " spoken today? Peace had become a dirty word. No profit in peace. The saddest part my friend is. No declared wars and we spend more than the Vietnam area of the USA dollar.

The War Pigs speak of a nuclear bomb. If the common person knew. One proper hit could cause a Nuclear Winter.  They would hold great fear.  He, who speak of nuclear weapons like ordering a beer. Are cold and dumb. Nuclear, bio and chemical warfare. Had advanced.  A sad world we live in. Can destroy the world a thousand times over and we still have starvation in our world. The War Pig scream in Washington for more blood. Who will pay?  US and Us.

John - you are so right. No child wants war and I doubt that mothers want it either. Perhaps only the mothers of ancient Sparta wanted it for their boys. "Come home with your shield, or on it."

I'm reminded of a quote by one of our great military leaders - Eisenhower. He warned the United States to be fearful of the "military/industrial complex." He saw early on, I think, that the only ones who profit from war are those that provide the tools for it.

A good write - John - take care.

You are right Dave. Eisenhower too. He saw he future. Thank you Dave for reading and the comment.

Very powerful words here.
I, myself, am pretty much against war. I'm not one of those dreamers who believe world peace could ever find us, since this world is already too messed up, but I get hurt inside when I see the amount of conflicts between people of our world, and the people dying just because they're dragged into an unnessarcy war. It saddens me so much inside.
You rely this feeling very well, and the first couple lines expressed that perfectly.

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes my friend. I'm tire of war. I pray for the sake of the children in our world. We learn. Every life had value.

[Sinbulvinter]

Exactly! What kind of world are we leaving for the children by doing this? What kind of example are we setting for them?
As that old song says, War... What is it good for? Appositely nothing.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear friend.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Powerul and apocalyptic warning. Nation in fear. World in terror. Great imagery and words that resonate. We are in a dark time. I pray with you for peace and light. God help all of us.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too dear Annette. I burn sage weekly for peace and healing for our world.

[Mary]

War is profitable and war pigs know it and want to become rich. well said my friend! I hope and pray it doesn't come to that!

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too. I lost too many friends to war. I pray daily for peace and thank you Mary for reading and the comment.

[Great Aunt Astri]

just words? Words that need to be spoken, I think ... and listened to!!!!! Well written.

[Coyote Poetry]

We fall back 40 years with Trump. The cold war is back and I pray. We have solid leaders who can keep the war dogs from destroying us all. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

[Paul Bell]

It's always the same with powerful nations. They make the weapons, send them round the world. Analyse the destruction they make. Then make them better. Will it change, highly unlikely. Just think of watching the enemy from thousands of miles away. Then pressing a button. That's real power.

[Coyote Poetry]

One day. One dumb mistake and we are all done. Thank you Paul for reading and the comment.

[Paul Bell]

Probably not that far off.

I like version by Faith no more. But this one is good too. Again time of war. Again quiet deep and very beautiful form. Simply you are great poet

[Coyote Poetry]

You are very kind and thank you for reading my work.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Unfortunately George Orwell got it right. So long as some pigs are more equal there will be no contentment and humans will vie for power, resources and survival.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right John and thank you for reading.

This is a very brave subject to write about. You have touched the issue on both sides as war is a necessary evil but he who has this power neglects it. It is hard to have faith in our leaders when its not always clear what their motive are. Nuclear is not an option the following war would be with sticks and stones. This threat of nuclear is like leveredge used to scare the masses and our adversary. You must Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak. Deception is a helpful aid in the appearance that you hold great power. You have taken on a volatile subject the passion in your words commands through their lines and calls for an audience. Intense.

Sheer Terror

[Coyote Poetry]

We all should have concern. Mad men are in-charge. I pray for better days my friend. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour

Your welcome I enjoyed it.

[Bala Gorthi]

Your concern for the humanity and peace comes out clearly in your writes.Something we all fear is on the very corner and we cannot do much.
Who will stop the war pigs? Thank you for sharing your very valid thoughts.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Bala for reading and the comment. The people of every country must stop the war pigs.

[Bala Gorthi]

Yes Sir, it is the duty of all..
