I was bored and just flicking through internet today while waiting for supper to be done and I decided to google my name (you know we have all done it, lol)..
I came across a poem on a site I wrote before I was even married – wow..
I though I would share it with all my followers:
War: Why the Destruction
War: Why the Destruction
Who’s battle are we fighting in vain?
All of this power and resources used to cause such pain
Do we really know what the troops are fighting for?
Or is there something we have not been told – something more?
So many innocent lives lost to this war!
Sent to fight a battle without being told the true reasons
Why is not wanting to go into this blindly treason?
Families are torn apart
Not knowing what is happening being kept in the dark
Wanting to know where their loved ones are – fearing that fateful call!
Young people killed or taken hostage by the enemy
Many forgotten – assumed dead – how can this be?
Civilians killed by American hands
Others forced to leave their homes and lose their land!
What will this all accomplish? – it has to be asked!
The impact and devastation of this war are sure to last
Lives will never be the same when this is done
Hatred and anguish will still be present when the troops are gone!
Fighting violence and hate with the same is just insane
Truly it is not the way to end this deadly game
What is it that they want to leave behind?
For the message will be etched in history for all time!!
