hat is War?
Is it good?
Is it Bad?
Does it prove anything?
What do you think war is?
A little boy might
say
It would be cool,
With guns, tanks, planes
And grenades.
A mother might say
It's a lonely time
As she would wait anxiously at the window
For him to come home,
And hopefully not a messenger.
A n old soldier
With shiny medals on his coat might say nothing
He would stare off into space.
Probably thinking of his friends who died in the war.
W hat do you think
war is?
