When Will it End
The invasion has begun
Can you hear the song of the guns
They serenade so loudly
As to be playing for the sun
Shots being fired
Blaze through the air to burn holes
Into anyone
That has come out
To trade blood for blood
Till the enemy has been extinguished
And victory declared
Pain shall be shared
And souls teared
Ripped from bodies
Bones dismantle
Frames shot empty
Burning the picture within
Burn away the memories
Leave no evidence
Kill
Take no mercy
On thy enemy
It starts with one bullet
But ends with a plethora of lost lives
Grieving wives
Casualties of wars
Soldiers scarred
Inside and out
Fighting for countries
That don’t see eye to eye
Just see each other as gigantic bull’s eye
The lives lost
Are just a small price to pay to attain peace
No comprising
No piece of mind
For a piece of mind
Just violence that creates violence
Plucking madly at the strings of life
Strumming up a tune of agony
Its a tragedy
But crudely our reality
We love the gore
The pain
The traded fist and blood
The famous phrase
“No pain
No gain”
But what do we gain
Besides more pain
Pools of blood
That leaves our souls stained
Kill off our loves ones
Leaving us the only ones
To remain
When will the violence end
And peace begin….

Very much agree with you about the futility of war. However I see that the energy that fuels it is also in so many of us as individuals. Whilst we do not trust each other and whilst we protect ourselves rather than understand why we dont trust conflict will keep happening. It seems human nature to move ahead from personal pain rather than embrace it for truth and inner strength. Because of this we store pain unconsciously and go on fearing each other and feeling like we need to fight to survive.
