All the band-aids used
sutures and stitches sewed
bandages and crutches too
blood and tears, that flowed
Massive the damage done
in the battle's aftermath
not to some, or just one
buildings crumbled on the path
We'll drag our dead and wounded
from the rubble and decay
rescue those who're stranded
or couldn't run away
Everybody knows the expense
of poets gone too war
words fired in offense/defense
in the end, wondering
what for?

:(
We all know again will be
the volleys and barrage
words and lines, you and me
prose reloaded awaiting the call
to charge
