Abominations

young mothers going to war
religious leaders starting wars
teenagers fighting in wars
innocent lives lost in wars
rights being suspended by wars
men being drafted for wars
crimes being committed in wars
criminals being defended by wars
profits being created by wars
weapons being invented for war
hatred perpetuated by wars
destruction left by war

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 7/13/2009 3:48:00 PM "Abominations" is an excellent title for this poem, John. I see little to be gained from war except freedom. Wars fought for all other purposes make no sense to me and they are, indeed, abominations. Excellent write, John! I dare say your best yet! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
