Array ( [sid] => 47159 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => War takes its toll [time] => 2004-05-12 02:04:20 [hometext] => this poem is done by a 16 year old kid ME its my view on war [bodytext] => in great depression comes great pain
a weakness in civlizations link
the innocent lay slain
life dies in with one blink

the lose of many for a few
death tolls high
things done we cant undo
the ones left living cry

how can we inflict such pain
the innocent die for a cause
does it get us any gain
time stands still in a pause

blink once and you die
a bullet a bomb a shell
no tears to cry
just a personal hell

war is not the way
dosnt anyone care
why cant you see this today
war is an outrage and unfair [comments] => 2 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 57 [informant] => babyboobooangel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

well this 15 year old understands where you are coming from. war is necessary because the nature of humans makes it so. the price of peace is not war though. good write.
