War

War

 

Cages rattle

From the feeble attempts

Of dying men to escape

 

Young women fight

In vain the men

Who beat and rape

 

Steamy jungles

Hide the enemy

That waits to kill

 

Solace found

Only in the

Taking of a pill

 

Bombs explode

And dirt rains

Over bodies of the dead

 

Dying men

Lie forgotten

While tears run red

Reviews

[Poeticpiers]

only too true.

[Buni]

it gives such a powerful image of what a war's like. you did a great job with it!

[Marlena]

Paints a scary image- no one likes war and you conveyed that wonderfully. Great job, it DOES seem hectic but that was what made it so powerful.

[Wunderlich]

This is pretty good. It feels kind of hectic, yet powerful. Nice write.
