Pointlessness of War

The dead and dieing laying in piles carnage of the pointless war buildings hazed to the ground devastation where ever the eye could see Young men and women back from the front suffering from the horrors seen and committed knowing they have blood on their hands and for what!!! Certainly no gain earned. Blindly following orders made from afar people who have never seen the awful carnage who sleep safe in warm beds with pleasant dreams no deity asked for this war just the greed of man Maybe if they had to spend a couple of weeks fearing daily for their sorry worthless life's amidst the wreckage that they have caused maybe, just maybe they would stop and think again

War, War,war. War is an anathema, Shadow. You have aptly painted a perfect picture of effects the war brings to people's lives- guilt, loss, uncertainty etc. What a poem...!JM
