Notes About The Poem

For Etheree Contest

War

War

War
is not
an option.
A way of life
ruined by death and
destruction for those who
don’t make the decisions when
and where to fight someone who the
leaders don’t like or want to conquer.
In the end, no one comes out the winner.

Oliver, a great poem, I agree, War solves nothing and causes despair and destruction. Congratulations on your winning placement.
