thought wirrlin'
blood screamin'
steel flash
torn voice
armies clash
unmade choice
feet poundin'
trumpets soundin'
A battle rages
between beans and broccoli.
Sadly, no winner
emerges from this dark fog.
Perhaps I will blame the dog.
Cold,
Power within,
Waiting to be released,
Pull the pin,
Count to five,
Throw away,
Power unleashed,
Cold.

The title is a question. Can't use question mark as special characters are not allowed. T.H.
its not fun
always on the run
its hell
you can be a shell
from pain eyes rain
in life it don't fit
WAR WHO NEEDS IT
sadist-masochists
follow the golden rule
do unto others
realistically
it's the war mentality
that haunts religions
When will we realise
What we call war
Is mass murder
Kill or be killed
Is not a good recipe
For creating World peace
field of red poppies
shrine-like aura of petals
salute the fallen
Composed: January 24, 2021
the dawn brought an eerie silence and scenes of total devastation
Written on 29th May 2022.
The disregard-er
allows the martyr
to die for their sins.
Another slaughter.
A sullied daughter.
Time and time again.
IF WE DO NOT END WAR - WAR WILL END US
WW 3 IS NEAR!! Stay tuned for updates!!

Brother, Brother
Father, Son
Nephew, Cousin
Lay as one.
Some together
Some alone
Some are named
And some unknown.
My parents said their vows
on Veterans Day
Soldiers enlisting for marriage
A kinder war in a way
The moon shines bright
At night.
The clouds float away
After the day.
And, as I say with a sigh,
In war many die.
Soul and mind at war
thought and feeling collide
Hidden behind conscious thought
True feelings of absolute chaos resides
faith plays
her melodic chords
across the
absolute decadence of war
unleashed the bright sword of Damocles
for us all she stands
flag presented to trembling hands…
shallow graves in foreign lands

what's worst than blood lust
the shell shock of another war
what's worst than trust lost
the shell shock of a child lost
bells silent wartime...
people wait to hear them peel
announcing peace reigns
Penned July 25th 2015
His daily conflicts are over,
Missed by his young lover.
This soldier's battles cease,
Death came and now is at peace.
I knew you don't go in,
But I wasn't coming out.
When you're a fish in the fish bowl
Going belly up.
The voice of my enemy,
the loudest of truths
With death as the arbiter
—to win or to lose
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
War weighs heavy on my mind
as I sit on my behind
I pray the world to survive ~
if not, I still hope to stay alive
My grandchild didn’t know the horror that the war had brought.
But then, they cannot remember what they were never taught.
From a rotund sun-hued idol spill commands both warped and wild
And armies rise from echoes of a tantrum thrown by a child
