This ''Masterpiece''

This masterpiece a work of art, an affront to all my senses.
Tombstones of the dreams I've killed have built up my defenses.
Still further blurred the years I've learned to hate all we've become.
This world is curbed to round the heard the ignorant and dumb.
Though loving smiles cradle me through burnings of the ages.
And comfort warms so readily, yet still the war it rages.

Those types of war are on a whole different level...hmm, I do get this one, entirely. Quite a short poem, yet covers quite a lot, succintly profound.
