War

Ever since the beginning of time
wars have plagued our land.
Gods creation abused and destroyed
by the evil deeds of man.

The weak and humble suffer
the innocent paying the cost.
They'll never be a winner
for wars are everyone's loss

When will all this madness end
will sanity ever prevail.
Will God decide enough is enough
and put an end to this evil trail.

John, after you commented on "Why Each Vote Counted" I went back and read some of your poems. We are definitely of the same opinion on current events. I was beginning to think I was the only poet brave enough to speak out, happy to learn I have a comrade in arms. Write on, my friend!!!
