Black font for a dark poem. Be liked Dopey, be NEGATIVE. Enjoy.

‘Abusive Validity’

Chemical atmospheres,
Decaying bodies,
Swollen tears,
And guts galore,

Blackened holes,
Bloody heads,
Withered souls,
And dismembered parts,

This is war;             all at it’s best
It doesn’t satisfy;      me the least
Countries die;           like much the rest
Rulers transfix;         at this bloody feast

Rebellious guns,
Murderous shooting,
Rotten fun,
And demising battles,

Putrid smells,
Red seas,
Blasting hells,
And dripping brains,

Don’t you see;          all it’s darkness
It doesn’t help;        to keep killing
War shows devilry;      and it’s liveliness
And yet you sit;        arrogant and unwilling

Jeremy Raulinaitis

Yeah!
That's what I kept saying out loud during this poem.
Yeah!
Now my parents are awake, and upset, because it is late and I'm cheering at this hour.
Ah well, who cares?  They can afford to lose some sleep over such a poem.
Yeah!
Down with war!

Bravo. Another library piece.

Great imagery... Can't say much but I do agree with you that war is unnecessary.

Ok...I liked this...but the imagery kind of made me sick to my stoumach...I could visualise this one...which was not good, cause lately anything can turn my stoumach... It was a wonderful poem...just not the best thing to read @ 10 am, when you didn't get much sleep the night before

Wow, nice one here. Alot people have alot to say about war but you really summed alot up right there. And as for Tamma's stomach turning, sorry for you Tamma, but sometimes it takes a little bit of that to get other people to realize war isn't worth it. Kinda made me sick to my stomach though too...or maybe it's the 17 cups of coffee..anyways that was a seriously great poem man. Keep it up.

Wow. My goodness boy. Cool! I got confused how to read it for a sec, had a blonde moment, but now it's all good. I thought this was kinda gross, yet I realized that was partially the point to gross us all out about war. Great job!!

Well I'm getting sick of writing a certian word (starts with a 'W' and ends w/ a 'W' and in the middle is a 'O') every time I read one of your poems, so how about 'Gee-Wiz', this was great.  The imagery as the others said was awsome... The message was a good one... the flow and the way it read was terrific... the style unique and added another level to this already amzing poem.
Keep it up.  ah ight?
