War.

It's something we dread, and it's something that causes in us a feeling of desperation, and utter desolation. We pine for our loved ones, especially if they are out fighting.

Thankfully, we live in a time where war is highly uncommon. :)

But here's a poem, from a time when people weren't quite so lucky. Here's a poem, war-inspired. :) Mostly based on Freedom and Liberty. 

P.S. No hate, pls. I was twelve. xD

As  I Remember The Past

As I sat in my cell, I wondered,

What would it be like, to be free?

To roam about, without any fear,

To be filled with unending glee?

As I looked at the darkness around me,

I longed for the bright warm light;

When would I have the freedom?

When would I have the right?

I thought of my days as a child,

When all I had was liberty;

To eat and sing, and jump, and dance,

And live a life so hearty!

And as a boy, I was the same,

I was free to roam about;

But never did I imagine,

That one day; I'd be so distraught.

I thought of the war, 

The war for our freedom;

When none of us had anticipated

That we'd lose our kingdom;

We brought together our forces,

And fought for days on end;

But did it do us any good?

Did the matter end?

Naught can change by thinking,

By dreaming of our lost kingdom;

When all I wish for, is the feel

Of good old liberty and freedom.

Thanks for reading. :)
