Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo Day After Day

Life’s not all fun and games, no sir -
even war games under the waxing sun.

Cock-a-doodle-doo day after day
as the ground gives way to waves.

And we wave goodbye, have another cry,
blame the other guy, don’t even try

to figure out the way to God’s heart.
After all, your god, is a god of war.

Whatever side you’re on, you figure
he’s on your side too. Zap that chap,

have no mercy. The nails had no mercy.
The thorns had no mercy. Christ’s blood

soaked the soil. We till and toil,
we live, we die - day after day.

Victor Buhagiar November 2, 2023 at 3:16 AM I thought this was a fun poem, it certainly is not. I have as yet to write a poem on war, but you have done wonders with yours. Blessings. Kim Rodrigues November 2, 2023 at 4:54 AM Thank you, Victor. So many things going on around the world. Hugs
