Image for the poem What

What's it good for..

 
Raping the land that gave them breath

Time

So much anger between

Warlike in destructive ways

Them
Those
They

Life is important
precious commodity

Empires rise
then inevitably fall
WAR
death

Religion
Secret whispers till
crowded rejoicing squares
destruction
greed
folly
WAR
death

New lands
discovered
built upon
greed
taken by force
WAR
death

People
power
jealousy
toppled
moved aside
trodden on
WAR
death

Man enslaved man
colour or belief
hatred
WAR
death.


WAR
to end all wars
great war
in the name of..
king and country
few returned
death


We watched as man loved man
as woman loved woman
harmony
Unafraid
to come out..
tension
hatred
WAR
death
