A TRAGEDY!

 

War is a tragedy
Peace and harmony, failing miserably
Callous and cold as plans unfold
Constructive they are not, destructive like a sot
 
 
Avarice and desire permeates a need
To conquer, destroy, pillage and plunder
Rationale is defense, war will commence
Leaders are they? Is this the way?
 
Cupidity prevails, death in the entrails
Ravaged land, desiccated to sand
Castigating the world, imminently unfolds
Plight of the hour, we will be devoured!

Will we ever learn that war is futile?
