War

The looting; the crying The shooting; the dying The terror; the fright The horror; the flight The torture; the pain The effort; the strain The nightmarish dreams The blood chilling screams The stench; the decay The struggle, the dismay The unthinkable The abominable The demolition The decapitation The execution The extermination The anguish To languish The mercilessness And fruitlessness And woe Of war
