This is war

Are you ready to go

Cause this is starting now

Make a choice

Burn this down

Rise above it all

On smoke like wings

Of the Reaping crow

Watch us all

Save us, they beg

All these people 

All under your thumb

Make a play

In this chess game

The world is a board

You and I grandmasters

Opponents for all of time

Play until rubble burns

Command the troops

Roll the dice

Like it's a game of risk

Attack here and there

Why not take a break

Let the fires die

And then begin again

We are the leaders

Of our own little holocausts

All we want to do is prove

This is war

And its only fun

When you're the winning team

Cause when you play with fire

If you're all alone

You get burned

Great poem, very thought provoking, a great philosophical write

I agree with your words. We live in a world led by men with too much interest about other countries while their countries are falling into the dumpster. The old countries (Middle east and Africa) don't need other countries involved. But no money can be make in peace time? I tell people old logic. "The winner of a war is always right. The losers were the terrorist. Funny part is. It where you are standing. You believe a evading country here to help in the USA would not be attacked. That would make the USA citizens the terrorist then." I don't know. I pray for common sense. Every country had problems. Allow them to repair themselves. A outstanding poem. You made me think.
