Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- War -

War


                                 the merciless violence
                                 death and silence
                                 loss of hope and self reliance
                                 They walked in the sunshine
                                 dead people lay everywhere -
                                 it is completely absurd

Speaks Volumes October 29, 2022 at 11:47 PM SO TRUE................... I have always said that we should build a boxing ring on a plot of impartial land, and let all the war hungry world leaders fight it out to the death and save the lives of ALL the innocent men and women that they would send to fight their battles for them.......... Enjoyed your writing Sunshine.

Gershon Wolf October 26, 2022 at 8:38 PM Who's really pulling the strings, anyway?! Profound stuff, Anne-Lise. :) gw Anne-Lise Andresen October 27, 2022 at 4:42 AM - Those who pull the strings ... are people without heart - The strings should be cut immediately - hugs

Victor Buhagiar October 26, 2022 at 1:51 AM War is always absurd. It does not build, it destroys. Hugs.

Michael Tor October 25, 2022 at 6:52 PM It is absurd and it is mankind's tragedy. I am taking time off the Soup Anne-Lise will be back in a while. God bless you...
