Either or for Friend Legion

Either or for Friend Legion

A Poem by Poeticpiers
"

sonnet in iambic pentameter variant rhyme pattern

"

 

 
Either Or
 
A thought has just occurred to me.
When someone claims a victory
then someone else suffers defeat.
 A simple thought that is complete.
You either win or else you lose,
there is no alternative to choose.
Acceptable when it’s game.
A fleeting bid for some small fame.
Transfer it to the battleground,
this simple thought becomes profound.
You win you live, you lose you die.
That is the harsh reality.
Until we find a better way
 then men on other men will prey.

This as always is a profound piece with thought provoking social conciseness. Can think of much a number of better ways can't you. The truth of it is in war no one wins, both sides loose too many lives. An enjoyable read, Well done.
