Casualties of War

How many times

will we make the same mistakes

fighting for a future

with a past we can’t erase.



Countless people falling

we’ve seen it all before

before this war is over

there will be countless many more.



Hidden in the trenches

Fearing for their fates

Only one thing certain

Regarding our world’s state.



So much senseless killing

Victory bittersweet

The death toll quickly rising

As none admit defeat.



Endless lines of crosses

Reflected in a mother’s eye

Mourning for her family

One of many sent to die.

WOW... as in Words Of Wisdom!
INTENSE and POWERFUL...
If ONLY those who have the power to cease the nonsense...
Well written... We cannot change what is happening in the world, but we can certainly continue to express our disgust with those who send our young to fight to the death for their will.

You have done an excellent work here
