Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

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.

Carole Duet May 20, 2017 at 1:58 PM Sad but true, Roy. A great piece putting the truth of war in perspective. "War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" Roy Pett May 20, 2017 at 4:23 PM 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.
