War

Planes fly in from above Carrying missals and bombs Dropping them where they feel fit Taking out many men jump in a hole to take cover Wondering to yourself is this the end? Look up and see the fire that is over taking the land Watch as people scramble around not sure what to do next Looks like a three ring circus. Remembering that you signed up for this. holding doubt in his heart now Was this really Gods plan for him. So young and so scared as he sits there with his friend dead in his hands. Is this how war must end?

yes war is bad, the reason they say War is Hell. The bible says there will be wars and rumors of war until the end. this was said over 2,000 years ago and since that time we have had a war. This was a very sad and moving piece you wrote and so touching. thank you for stopping by to read and comment on Something Beautiful.
