Humanity in a constant state of warfare "Civilized" and "uncivilized" at war War at the international War at the national War at the local level Even in the family there is war   Generations come and see war Generations passes and war is still here All the destruction war leaves behind All the lessons there are to learned Why do we pursue the ways of war Why are we still fighting wars   Sometimes I wonder Wonder if the bloodlust is so strong If there is a calling Some inner desire to kill Some need to be satisfied Driving us to find excuses to make war   Men sit back having cocktails and cigars Making policies to keep them in positions Oppressive policies that eventually leads to war Never venturing on the field of battle Always behind closed doors Trying to justify their unjust wars   Poor peoples children are send off to war Running off with gun in hand Ready to kill some poor peoples' child Both fighting a war Helping to establish some stupid policy Policy to eventually suppress them both Keeping us in a state of war.   [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
