The Best Poem Of RICHARD PINKETT

War

What Is War

war is how the old cull the youth
war destroys
beauty and truth
they tell of the glories of the past
they stood back to back
and fought to the last
among the upright stones
let them talk of war
above the poor misguided bones
and as about them
they stare
let them start war
if they dare
