World War

Guns are firing
bombs in the air
people are dying
it's just not fair.

Tanks and armored weapons
injuries so severe
we will never truly know what happened 
during these awful years.

Now the war is over
crosses all around
the fields are calm and peaceful
poppies lay on the ground.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
