War Perspectives

The different views on war

War has always affected time
Either through the lives of dying
As they fight for every dime
Or through the living, as they go through life shivering

It affects the families
Relation to soldiers or other
As the love leaves crying
And others say why even bother

It changes the ecosystem
Killing off life
Reaching every house, every tree stem
Creating death and strife

As the population grows
And less die
Shouldn't the death rate flow
And allow their souls to go to the sky

In the Bible
God proclaimed
That none shall kill in his own fable
He seriously exclaimed

War can bring money
The lifeblood of the modern planet
Through oil, wood, and TV that's funney
Creating a utopia.  So, can it

War can bring problems
Through sadness as the family put the picture books on the shelf
But wouldn't the answer be
To get rid of science itself

As the veterans finish the physical war
They return back to their life back at home
Even with the mental scar
They still read this poem
And they wonder
"How did things get this far"
