Oh Cruel war

I wrote this as something to end an article I had written on the war in Syria , the war has been raging on for three years now. Such a loss of human life, such a Shame.

The streets are deserted, the day is dark,

The demons are out, and the dogs bark,

Man is killing man with ease,

The cruelty makes my blood freeze.

Schools were full, not long ago,

Happy places for children to go.

They are still full, from what I see,

The fear within the walls baffle me.

Graffiti on the walls looks so gory,

The  splattered blood has a story.

Why do we fight, why do we kill,

Why do go to war at will.

Whoever wins,

it does not matter,

When humanity is crushed

 and served on a platter .
