Poem
War is never nice and friendly Make no error about it Invasion is war, death of a country Nostra culpa est There is no amicable invasion Obviously, this is an egregious violation Of a country’s sovereignty, Respect, honor and dignity Sure, it is our gosh-darn fault War is hell before and after death Where no good thing is left Except the tears, the suffering, the theft The cries, the breaking of the vault The rape, the killing, the assassination The kidnapping, the burning of the constitution The infringement of God’s given rights, the anti-democracy The odious crimes against humanity The worst misery and the nastily abject poverty Where the country and everybody, everybody Is indeed worse off. Liberty is cuffed, shackled and muzzled Love shamelessly and categorically disappeared Pride was and is dead, freedom has frankly fizzled Hate verbosely and painfully appeared As the eyes can see, war is hell. No laughing matter. No fun No justice, no escape, no democracy. And no place to run Countless bandits, criminals, and innocents are dead In such mortiferous galimatias, everybody is wrong God is helplessly watching and recording. What a sad song! No future and no hope for today’s generation We all shamelessly watch, listen and hear The daily and nightly news here This is a cuckoo fiasco, an abominable invasion Where nothing gets better, but worse and worse We watch, see and witness the violence. We have less, less And less of everything under the weeping and mournful sun War is never hilarious, comic, funny and friendly Hell is not a promenade under the crimson moon The world is a makeshift barbarous cemetery And this is not a mendacious mystery Nostra culpa est Make no mistake about it We all will have to pay and ultimately will pay This is the time to think, to meditate and to pray.
