"Life, War"



Terrene world teeming to the brim with life
Yet life fades as quickly as it came
Yet, still the world is just as full with strife
Realms that stopped and that never overcame

There were those overpowered by envy
Others able to love the terrene world
Those who had envy were never friendly
The ones who loved always had a dreamworld

A place of peace would change eternally
Then would come what would be known as the war
Places of peace had loved maternally
But the war never left an open door

But after war there would always be rain
Washing away, what is eternal pain

About this poem

The world once filled with life, yet war comes, and will the eternal pain disappear.
