The World is Not Poetic

The World is Not Poetic

A Poem by Satan's Daughter

You look out at a world on fire
And complain how ugly the ashes are
You light a flame that engulfs us all
And gripe about the heat
You have a misconceived notion
As most people do
That everything can be romanticized 
But war is not romantic
Death is not beautiful
And our end is nearing
It will not be poetic

Wow, this is really ominous isn't it. I've read my share about wars. What humans can do to other humans is incredibly inhuman. War is hell. I would be curious to know who or what group you directed this at? To romanticize war in movies has always been a formula that worked. But as you say, you can not romanticie such horrific events.
