War is a necessary hindrance
A booster of economy and technology
And display of dominance for which it's an honour,
to stand and fight.
Fall.
Lives lost but not all for nothing
Brave and strong, they fought for
Freedom, liberation, security, and civilisation
Spreading patriotic inspiration.
War is a necessary hindrance
An easy form of population control
But also a nation's defense to protect
The people it holds oh so dear
from an enemy of evil.
War is the reason for unity
Connection, equality, and prosperity.
But war is not a necessary hindrance.
A facade of glory in unnecessary deaths
A lie of enemies when there are just two sides
Fighting for the same things with different reasons.
War is not an empty land with opposing forces
that leaves only the fighting soldiers
With post traumatic stress disorders.
War is an unnecessary solution
A country's display of dominance
Costing more than the damage it leaves behind.
War is the orphan witnessing their parents
slaughtered before them although innocent
Children raped and tortured for reasons unaware
War;
War is an unnecessary solution
That becomes glorified due to the lack of knowledge
of bondage it causes
To those left to survive the destruction they didn't cause
On both sides of the battlefield.
