Array ( [sid] => 90038 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => War [time] => 2005-04-05 21:13:50 [hometext] => Wrote this ages ago....unfortunately, it could be applied to modern days as well... [bodytext] => War

The hills are filled with battle cries
And blood flies everywhere
I search all over for my family
But alas, they are not here
A woman falls quite near to me
And I see her blood stained face
Oh God, I think as I stumble on
We cannot even die with grace
A bomb lands somewhere in front of me
And I hear some startled cries
In this red-orange deathly sky, while breathing
In dust filled air
I sigh, a bomb, I die.

War

The hills are filled with battle cries
And blood flies everywhere
I search all over for my family
But alas, they are not here
A woman falls quite near to me
And I see her blood stained face
Oh God, I think as I stumble on
We cannot even die with grace
A bomb lands somewhere in front of me
And I hear some startled cries
In this red-orange deathly sky, while breathing
In dust filled air
I sigh, a bomb, I die.

A truly powerful poem, unfortunately war & act of violence itself will forever exist. Excellent poem!
