The Return of War

The war had started The soldiers had been carted There was a sudden silence As a shadow of death arrived Everyone wished that there Partner would stay alive From dusk till dawn People did mourn About his or her partners death At the battlefields there was the last breath. Wishing bombs dropped from the sky Clouds of dust rise up high Innocent people run for cover The fear of death makes them shudder The endless rattle of bullets at night While the living pray to see daylight The swords are as sharp as an icy gust They will cut you in half if they must. No doubt they will soon get well But those soldiers that survive Will be servile scared For what they have done Would surly end them soon If not now then in the new moon People try to stay alive But most of them might die Some of them will cry because of loss Most of them will give up and loose hope in life If you have to go back in time You will here a lot Of screaming and soughing Crying and wining because of Pain, loss, anger and sadness Most of them died because of war And some of them died because of The outcome of the mind confusion Beating on them day by day.
