wars

when we learn

were deviled, a mother crys

for child before it dies

now a man for the fear of war

we stand to fight a foe

can we win what we shall truly lose

for peace love war is never fair.

and victory is a cold dish

can we win from destruction

if its our demise 

if daughters and sons from a cry

we will never hear

when will war be justified

if we lose that we love

only feel what we have inside

the foe is our pride

to take a life we will never forget.

to win a war that is a losing bet

for a son who died from a gun we made.

There are so many loses during war. War destroys but unfortunately in the world we live in many time if we don’t engage in self defense or to help others during times of war greater loses will arise.

I wish war wasn’t a thing us humans feel we need to carry out but with great regret there are those vial and sadistic people in the world that thrive on destruction and chaos

Sometime when we think about war, we don't think about the actual fighting, we muse about the accidents, the injuries, the death...will our children return home, or will we never see them again...."to take a life we will never forget" even if war doesn't touch you....even if it's far away, we still think about the destruction and the and the demise of those innocents....

I agree Mauricio.
"to win a war that is a losing bet

I tell people. If we don't stop war. War will find us. My grandmother told me. Please don't die. I lost too many in WW2. Powerful and worthwhile poetry shared my friend.

War is horrible
Bit murder is horrendous
And shouldn't be condoned
Sometimes I don't understand the brutality of it all 😭

I thought here of the tragedy that has take place in the last couple of days. More conflict. As if Ukraine and Yemen aren’t enough. Violence begets violence. The hatred builds. Our species aren’t peaceful. They are constantly tearing each other apart. The losses unbearable.
