Senseless

entry picture

He worked in supplies

Now he fights 'til he dies 

Whilst his children's eyes glisten

To a god that won't listen

And their Mother releases

Her broken heart pieces 

In the hope he can find them

And to his heart bind them

So he knows she is there

In his final despair

When his flesh, draping loose

In the red reaper's noose 

Finds peace in their beating

Though their time

 

                        had been fleeting

Sad but true I'm afraid Stephen.
All wars are senseless. I don't understand the objective of this one, so can't see how it's going to end.

A massive poem, Stephen. The title sums it up.

True John. I prefer a war of words, it's less bloody!
And Julie, sorry for putting you on a downer. But at least it's Friday! 🌈🍾🍷😃

Senseless indeed, Stephen. Although it’s difficult to imagine any war as sensible.
