The Ravages Of War Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

RAVAGES OF WAR

Rumblings from sweet Earth's depths
A quivering so real,
Tremblings from another world
That within my heart I feel.

I hear a scream, loudly calling,
Before I realize
It comes from deep within me
As I hear it's lonely cries.

Profoundly, now I know it.
How can it ever be,
That Hell has now erupted
And slowly devours me.

My eyes see fire and brimstone
I hear the screams from Hell
Red is oozing endlessly
From where, I cannot tell.

How can our hearts recover
Will Our minds ever mend
When gentle loving people
With this carnage must contend.

And when destruction is ended
Know we have gone too far
For now each person left behind
Feels the Ravages of War.
