Every War

Every war…

All the same.

No matter what.

Difficult to watch.

Painful to conceive.

Yet, in every situation…

It is thought that

Things are so different now.

They’ve changed.

Life’s not the same.

Then we remember…

Every war is the same.

People are dying.

Men are fighting.

Women are screaming.

Children are no longer laughing, but crying.

Blood is being constantly shed.

Light tried and failed.

Darkness has prevailed.

When will it end?

Soon? Never? Now?

War can last for ages.

Leaving our world in peril and turmoil.

I want to help.

I want to run.

I want to feel for them.

But I can’t.

Because I don’t care.
