war

Rifle blasts fill the air
Most are shouting it isn't fair
Rebel leaders are breaking through
The walls have fallen, its 0 and 2
It's time for action, time to move
If it's worth the fight, its time to prove
One by one, more go down
Oh my God, a sickening sound
The fiery glow of hot burning metal
Running in the air, before his chest it settles
A full metal jacket will carry his blood
To hell and back, while he lays in the mud
Why do we fight for worthless things
Loosing all this life, loosing our wings
In the end only the devil will win
They lost their souls because of their sin
Take it for what it is, or take it for what it sounds
You listen to the TV, while another soldier hits the ground

Tragic to read and I love the way you put the reader into perspective in the end.
Good effort. |

This is a very searching poem which 'softly' hammers home the point of war generally I think..
I am in the UK and to my mind, the bravest thing any politician or citizen can strive for in relation to the current hostilities in Iraq is to bring home the service men and women.

They are all heroes to me, every last one of them and I pray for them daily.
