Wars destroy.. View table of contents...

Everybody has their own wars,
 
Fighting off their merciless demons,
 
Breaking free of their puppet strings.
 
But others,
 
They fight for freedom,
 
Fight for what they believe,
 
Stand up for what is true.
 
Still, people find ways to make things wrong.
 
They fight for fun.
 
They love causing other people pain,
 
Making them distraught,
 
And keep them hating life.
 
Wars just tear us apart,
 
Inside and out.
 
We are confused and hurting,
 
And wish all this would go away permanently.
 
Horrible thoughts cause these horrible words.
 
Soon, it is out of control.
 
A war begins,
 
Each is thinking they are right.
 
Wars cause revenge,
 
And revenge is deadly.
 
Nothing good could possible come out of a war.
 
Wars are demons,
 
Loving what they do,
 
Causing people sadness.
 
They fight ‘till the death,
 
Until nothing is left,
 
And their opponent is as good as dead.
 
Wars are the opposite of love,
 
The extreme of hate.
 
Wars are life at its worst.
 
It turns the best of friends against each other,
 
Loved ones become enemies.
 
War is a lie,
 
It deceives and twists words.
 
So many things are destroyed,
 
Trust and love are broken so easily,
 
And you wonder if people will ever be repaired.

Wow, I know what you mean. Wars cause nothing but pain and suffereing. Sure, a few conflicts may be resolved, but only more pain is caused, and more problems. Very nice poem, Danielle.
