    Nightmare realm

    The struggle the fight the utter devastation
    The pain the horror the complete annihilation
    Sons and daughters lost and broken, pain uncounted
    Warriors strive to win the day
    Politicos hide ashamed to say
    Retaliation for unremembered injury
    Mothers clutch their husbands and worry
    Who did what and why forgotten in the chaos
    Who survives to count the loss?

    War invented to save the peace
    Unreasonable hatred becomes a beast
    Men indentured to secure freedom’s hope
    The battle becomes a slippery slope
    Our young suffer the elder’s wisdom
    Given dreams of a loving kingdom
    Dreams that never seem to be fulfilled
    We just see our best friends killed

    How to end this mindless mess
    How to stop this Godlessness
    When fights begin and never end
    When man believes a God did send
    Some power to him and no other
    He will rise and sadly kill his brother

    On and on and on it goes
    No one can stop it, no one knows
    We pray we wish we even pretend
    The madness will one day end
    And end it will with a simple touch
    Button pushed and then the rush
    A brilliant light
    No more fight

    An emphatic plea to the hate, crimes, and war in this world. This poem is a wake-up call. Nice job framing all your examples. You might lke my poem "Is it What it Seems" a slightly different twist on a smilar topic. Ginga

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
