The Argony of war
Such a treacherous enemy of man and a child born from war it harbours, the pain, the anger, the hate that make it an invincible foe for the weak men and women fresh from the battlefields. it compress into one single organism that eats away at human hearts and souls.
It is the difference in opinion that has seen countless relations skip the talking stage straight into warfare not paying much thought to the ravaging devastation warfare brings upon the world, scotching our mother earth marking her with the scars that keep on growing with every wars that are fought all through our existence as humans.
we who continue to destroy the only home worthy of sustaining such countless fragile lives, kids grow without parents for they have gone on to fight a war they know nothing about all in the name of patriotism and defending their homeland whilst in reality the only homeland is the planet and she continues to bleed out with no warriors of liberation to aid her, our mother's health continues to deteriorate whilst her children continue finding more ways of destroying her.
Men and women return home without limbs, psychologically damaged, physically unable, and all us children can do is to look and shed a tear as our most high continue finding more ways of justifying warfare and inciting violence disregarding the "AGONY OF WAR".
About this poem
Inspired by the Russia-Ukraine war. Peace continues to be the only thing that evades Humanity's charms, we have been at war with each other throughout our history and there are no signs of a lifelong peace.
