Lament

Lying face down, in snow and mud, 
A tragic tale, soaked with blood. 
The cost of war, a heavy toll, 
Leaving hearts burdened, with sorrow's role.

A thief of hopes, elusive and sly, 
Dashing dreams, leaving hearts to sigh. 
Promises broken, futures dashed, 
War's bitter aftermath, deeply thrashed.

An ashtray of illusions, deceptive and frail, 
Chasing false perceptions, a tempting tale. 
A toll too heavy, a price too high,
For humanity's sake, let's question why.
