War

War I know of families who are going to war Because of a clown a physcho settling a score Bombs will be falling like drops of rain Will we ever see, a rainbow again? Borders have been crossed, red lines ignored Lovers will lose the ones they’ve adored The storm is coming nowhere to hide Because they believed the ones who lied Frightened to fight, begged to Appease Always the wrong way, never succeeds Strength he’d understand, but now too late The flood has started, can’t close this gate Where will it end? instantly quick for some a bullet a bullet, that has their name on. All so needless, pointless in truth. Another life buried under a roof. Like a haunted wolf a mother cries. Torrents of tears from rain filled eyes. David Cox 22/02/22
