War

Oh, this opera of hatred
composed by men
who do not know the pain
of our forced participation!
The cresendos of our cries
and explosions of our lives
bring thunderous applause
and the victors stand up - 
with smiling high-fives they
congratulate each other 
on a superb performance.

This metaaphor for war is powerful and exposes all the terrible truths of warfare. The harmony of peace is- so much more- to be wished for. SuZ
