This War Ravages On
Folder:
Pain/Ilness A low and sorrowful
battle cry emits
pitifully from my mouth
as I engage again,
this assailing enemy.
Fistfull of amunition,
tablets, capsules,
(my troops)
propelled down my throat
with angering force
flushed with unholy water
past lips uttering
profanities
at this unprovoked attack.
Toxins seep through
bloodied venous trails
filling this zone
with chemical warfare
designed to fight
the invisible enemy
in this lifelong campaign.
War ravages on
in country
where disease reigns mighty
under its dictatorship.
The weak are left scarred
and wounded
where jagged pieces
of shrapnel imbed.
Hard to see victory ahead
when bomb blasts of artillery
hinder your sight,
demolish your hope,
drain your will to
fight the good fight.
No cease fire, no surrender,
no end to violent combat.
One shall be defeated
one shall be victorious.
Unless compromissing peace
can be found between
opposing forces,
this war ravages on.
