War



WAR

War is starvation
War is rape
War is the cutting or mutilating of once limbs
War is the eating of ones own child
War is the drinking ones own blood
War is deprivation of movement
War is fear
War is lack of access to health care
War is lack of access to your wealth
War is about diseases
War is hopelessness  
War is losing children
War is losing parents
war is losing spouses
War is losing loved ones
War is not going to school
war is not going to work
War is excreting right in your hiding spot
War is drinking your own wee
War is creating an entire generation who will be illiterates
War is madness
War is pain
War is creating enemies
War is lack
War is so much more than just shooting guns and ending lives
Even after war, it will take decades for a nation to heal, to reconcile and to rebuild etc
