Too much hurt, abundant anger,
broken bodies recklessly strewn,
facing up to dangerous strangers,
mental images roughly hewn.
Nightmares constantly permeate,
fears of dying plague me now,
thoughts of peace our minds create,
that warring factions disallow.
Aching arms and weary feet,
eyes so raw with unshed tears,
heart breaking with every beat,
gut-wrenching screams fill my ears.
War is just the governments way,
of blinding us from the truth,
"We have to save the people" they say,
but where the Hell's the proof!!
This hatred of our fellow men,
forced upon us during wars,
an emotion alien to our ken,
manufactured by those lying whores.
