Endless War

A man caught in the rage of war for all of eternity.

This battle just goes on and on.

Though I died so long ago,

Still this bloodshed continues.

When will I find peace?

 

The clang of steel, the sound of hooves,

They haunt me in my grave.

I cannot reach the other side,

Oh, when will I find peace?

 

My spear runs through another man,

His blood spilling on the ground.

Caught in this prison of bloodlust and war,

Will I ever find peace?

 

My heart and soul long for home,

But I am confined to endless war.

My wife and child wait for me,

So when will I find peace?

Ashley, I liked your poem, I am a Vietnam Veteran and know what a useless war is. Nice write.
