Cup of war

war

The armies rise
Eleven men each side
And take their weapon
At the sound of the
Horn they charge
No mercy in their eyes
As they each take
Knock after knock
For a nation's glory and honour
Their people sit at
Home waiting for
Word of the outcome
They jump and cheer
As they make
A score against their enemies
And heads hang with sorrow
As a knock is taken
Hope subdued
And in the end
For the victors the spoils
And they are?
Another battle
In this neverending
War for golden cups

Then the war is taken to the stands and bodies are trampled, then taken to the streets where cars are upturned and businesses burned ... in frenzied celebration of winning a tin cup coated gold! Congratulations nationalists!
Great and timely write ...

War is dreadful it causes great pains. To me there are no gains just the remainers of loss of lives taken.

sad to say this is a very apt title for something that should be a global celebration. just watchin the news as i was reading your poem.
Sad the battle can't just stay on the field. Good poem anyway |
