SO TRUE................... I have always said that we should build a boxing ring on a plot of impartial land, and let all the war hungry world leaders fight it out to the death and save the lives of ALL the innocent men and women that they would send to fight their battles for them.......... Enjoyed your writing Sunshine.

War is always absurd. It does not build, it destroys. Hugs.

Powerful short poem, Sunshine. I liked absurdity of it all. Great imagery, and entry for the contest. Good luck! Bill

Dead people everywhere--that is what is happening now in Ukraine. So sad, but true to life is your poem, Anne-Lise.
