I lie on the bed
And put on the telly
The newsreader declares the following
“ The war is over”, yet the fight goes on
I see on the telly
People dying and children crying
Bang! Bang! Bang! Fires one soldier
Damn! Damn! Damn! Says another bolder
The war creates stress, anxiety, fear and death
I see soldiers eighteen years of age and older
Careful aiming is essential to stay alive
Because if they make a mistake it could end their lives
I see the parents crying on the TV
“ Why did you take my son and not me”?
People running around madly and falling to the ground
The war in Iraq creates anxiety inside of me
I feel sorry for the children and parents of the deceased
Once the war is over the after affects begin
Soldiers are plagued by the nightmares of the past
At the end of the day it affects the present day
I hope that the war will end
Because it is silly to lose one’s life over something stupid
The enemy is death
Your friend is life
It’s your choice to see which one’s right!
Very good expressions of war...thank you and keep writing..
