WAR!!!

There's no reversing the cursing-
No swerving this deserving.
That's what you get when you and trouble start flirting.
A perfectly well made disaster;
Served on a silver platter,
Cutting the chatter,
Like the hushing of a master.
Mr.Blacksmith-
Banging another bladed weapon,
Nobody really learns until it's a BLOODY lesson.
And you can't soften this,
Nope; it can't be cushioned.
All these bullet shells must make it all in!
Revolvers spin,
While cartridges are smacked,
Pull it back.
[Click-clack!]

Let's start a war,
And leave everybody charred!
Covered in tar;
Sickness and diseases!
No prisoner releases!
Bang em' all in the head!
That's what you get for F****N' WITH THE BREAD!
Who's got the bigger guns?
Our hammer's are like a sledge!
And we're loyal to our country; we've given our life in a pledge!
SO-
Who is right and who is wrong?
Doesn't matter- we won't be getting along!
My religion and government are strong,
And they say you're the enemy over and over like a song!
It'll make it easier if you hate me!
So let's say our own individual prayers and SQUEEZE!

WAR is sharp and gritty.. I love the opening
and your use of (audio cues & words) add to the haunting
aspects of war..
Loved the line:"Nobody really learns until it's a BLOODY lesson"
So true... War is BBBBBBBAD and your poem supports that notion..
thanks for getting in our faces..

War is simple. People die and no-one will win in the end. I like the honest and strength in your words. War ain't pretty. Just waste of life on both sides. A outstanding poem. To the point and true.
