WE GO 2 WAR

WE GO 2 WAR - Hughes/Maldonado, FUNK, 2008 -------------------------------------------- War is just decision made in comfort of palatial rooms fed by self-interest, ego, fear, fame, hatred, greed, not counting cost of destruction deaths, displacements, disabled lives, loss. Trifling matter for decision-makers. How many healthy lives wasted for this? How many families wiped out clean? How much money spent to keep up? detonate, bombard, shell, blast, decimate, shoot, snipe, spray, raid, hostage, exchange? Just red-blood spills unjust deaths nothing else

Powerful! You made this poem say something important and that alone is worthy... but you also said it in a beautiful way, a clever stab of words that bring bright pictures to mind. Very very profound! Xoxo

Can you imagine the effects that will be lifetime lasting for the youth and children of the war/s that are going on. PTSD will run ramped in years to come. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
