No Glory, No Home, No More--First Shadow Sonnet Challenge

~~~NO GLORY! NO HOME! NO MORE!~~~ Life echoes’ cried, precious loved ones lost life Door of tears, my prayers knock on the closed door Strife took up arms that war nailed cross to strife War erred deeds, claims unjust, cold souls of war Vain war the warrior’s hallo; warred in vain Mercy, come again, please give me mercy? Shame the wars' casualties; hall of shame Jersey City the same as New Jersey None gave true love; and glory was for none Time life wasted; and hope died one last time Son of perdition spawn without a son Crime the nations’ debt; and partners of crime Soar, Oh my soul, chimes of life, let love soar Poor wars’ and scriptures’ used against the poor © DiLinda Adams 2014, All Rights Reserved
