War Where Next

( Aleppo Syria) Desperate people living in pure hell, They never wanted this trouble, War, killing, poverty, sorrow they can't dispel Life's hard no food, water, homes of rubble, Young, old, boys and girls fathers and mothers, Bombs, guns and bullets have no conscience world leaders say their concerned,bothered, It is certainly total lies, nonsense, War is it necessary? is it natures way? The demise of some to protect others, Is Human destruction required today? Cannon fodder produced by mothers, Killing each other madness or sense, Peace on Earth Is what we expect, A necessity, requirement or Self defence. Hostilities, atrocities, war where next. 20th May 2017.

Sad but true, Roy. A great piece putting the truth of war in perspective. "War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

Thank you Carole, it's the rich and powerful, them that don't put their lives at risk that cause or start these conflicts and the innocent suffer, thanks again, Roy.

Truly great penmanship in this write Roy. Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a world without wars, if only.
