Why

I wrote this poem while my dad was serving the war in Iraq. Its kind of depressing :/ which isn't very much like me to be a depressing person lol. I wrote this poem through my eyes what I think of war

~*Why*~

The wind blows bringing in the sent of gun fire

I can smell the fear.....

I can see the blood shed

The result of the ever lasting war

one question remades un answered in this world.

why is there war.....

for a long  period of time now this battle has lasted

but why is there blood shed.

But I will shed a tier for the lives that we held so dear.

The Mothers, daughter, sons and Fathers who lost there lives

why?

why is there death.

why must we fight this war

if in the end there is only more

I walk on the ground where bodies lie.

each face painted with a cry.....

friends, comrades, and lovers

all lost to the blood shed.

if loved ones are lost and we all cry

then why dose this battle carry on...

it makes no scene, I haven’t the slightest clue

hope is pointless unless you tell me why.....

why.....

is there war?

it was good but war it a good thing, i know it might not seem like it now with everything thats going on, and even then it is still harder for some people to understand but it is lessening the nubers of over population allowing our earth to breathe. its seen in nature only we dont call it war we call it servival

Very heart warming and special to the heart. Other than the few spelling mistakes(that we all make), it's good and it's a good thing that I knew what you meant too or I would have been lost :D

[Dream Weaver]

Truly a heartfelt write...We all ask why...
