Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

Why Are There Wars

Why are there wars
Is there a reason for death and destruction
The reason escapes me now
Is it to prove superiority
Why are there different races and cultures
That were disgraced and died
Is that a deplorable enough reason
My mind of today at 86 is still questioning it
There MUST be a reason

L Milton Hankins June 28, 2022 at 8:34 AM When you get it, please share it with this eighty-year-old, will you? I can't for the life of me understand why. What does Putin hope to gain, for example? When all is said and done, all he has achieved for himself is the moniker "monster!" He's a serial killer, for goodness sakes! Jack Ellison June 28, 2022 at 2:37 PM I am at a total loss for a reason for this insane worldwide killing and destruction! However it's been going on for centuries so I'm sure I won't see the end of it nor will you... sad!
