A Different War

A short poem about the hidden evil enemy that live amongst us.

A Different War 9.11

All these people, clean city suits,

covered in dust, right down to their roots.

A different world, a different war,

Unseen enemies, what's it all for?

However will our Grandchildren fight,

An unknown enemy

Hell bent on taking our lives.

They live amongst us

No uniform they wear,

So much hatred, so little care.

 

A short poem by Wicker.

Your rambling here I like very much.... short and to the point...keep going

Wow. This is really good. So much emotion in such a short poem. Really powerful.

[aftervision]

the sad part of this is that they will and never understand why -- and while fighting their heart will not be in it to win it and the same time they will be fighting a enemy that was born to die for their cause -- love the words of you

Woah what a truly awesome piece of writing Wicker, Shows real concern not only for those who have suffered during armed conflicts past but also those who may suffer from future wars to.
A poem that proves we should all be working toward world peace!

[Samuel Dickens]

And I'm really concerned for my children and all the young who are inheriting such a world. The fact that innocent civilians are now often targeted is just an abomonation. I think your poem is perfect and makes its point very well.
