Why

Traipsing, sludge like through the ages.
Mountainous terrain that's like a fortress.
Trenches that provide just a hint of cover yet they are an almighty pleasure.

War

Your in my sights, indoctrinated to protect where none should be needed.
A lamentable excuse to portray the vision of a timetable.
Like writing an essay you're there to maim people.

A history of unsung praises.
Whatever happened to the peaceful muses.
It only takes one to declare
The problem is it slays more than a bear.

There is no effect more clear, there is no shining that is more dazzling.
The truth is there, so clear in its feigning.
Land that's blipped with a guided whip only has seconds till it's a pile of ...... rubble.

Lives, there are no words to describe the mutual.
All you need are your thoughts to be truthful and you can see the horror of the affected people.

Why ?

The rest I will leave to your mindful.
