War Days

Gone past, are those of
best of days in vain;
The thought does surge,
me through the total pain;
Of once we're covered lands,
now stand Blood Rain;
Earth cries, in hopelessness,
as beauty slain;
To me you tell this,
waged War great, what gain?

What gain indeed? Your poem raises an important question.

The only gain is a War Trophy, and beneath it, lies hidden the cries of families and of nature. Thanks for the comment though.
