War

Rendezvous with death, War ravages everyone; Carnage for vultures. There are survivors, untouched; Emotions are ravaged, through.

So true, war ravages everyone, especially the soldiers and the ones who wait at home praying. Great tanka! Thank you for commenting on my poems.

Nice said "Emotions are ravaged, through."...Still I believe that Love is only weapon against the stupid war. Best wishes from India.
