Wars

the government sends in soldiers who don't know any better

They stay inside their little homes

They stay inside where it is nice and warm

The stay inside so they don’t have to

Face the truth behind the doors

 

While they wait for it to slowly pass

They watch and laugh at the comedy

They wait for it to just go away

They think we don’t know, probably

 

Innocent people are dying outside

Banging on these steel locked doors

Asking to be brought in

Into the safe mind zones

 

But they don’t open the doors

For real life lies out there

They stay inside the unknown

Afraid of common sense

 

They don't want any wars

So they talk about world peace

They don't want any wars

They live as if they don’t exist

 

It’s not our problem, they say

They blame the other side

They say that they are innocent

However to the wars they guide

 

And then they go and sacrifice

Their brother, neighbor, friend

What they don’t understand is that

In the end, they are to blame

There are never any victors in war, only victims and those left behind to pick up the pieces. It is a sad state of the world that this is something that most can relate to, we know it goes on and yet, we stand idly by...leaving those in the midst of hell to fend for themselves and wonder why no one cares enough to help.

[Firemay]

The thing is that people some how have just excepted the fact that this is the truth, there will forever be in constant war. and that is what is so damn sad.

It's truly easy to ignore the truth to enjoy ignorance. Your writing is good.

The poem told the truth. People don't want to see the truth.
"They don't want any wars
So they talk about world peace
They don't want any wars
They live as if they don’t exist"
Being blind make some people feel safe but one day war will find your front door. Than you my friend for sharing your amazing poetry.

very emotional... I like the message..
"wars never mind the aftermath
what matters to them is possession
but to the people they bring wrath
without tender feeling their situation"

[Firemay]

Thank you, where is that from?

[jazzymars]

[Firemay]

I can't say that i am Talented Firemay, i just enjoy TRYing things. Even if sometimes I don't feel I can make it, I still give my shots to try it.

Lay the blame straight at western countries.
Whose weapons usually get used against them in later wars.

This is a powerful condemnation of the exploitation of human life in the name of "patriotism". We all know that the sale of arms is one of the biggest profit making industries and governments are governed by big business.. A few thousand lives lost means less threat to power.
