Crying children formed from shrapnel
Pain walks the street in uniform
Life exploding into uncertainty
Laughter cut short from these unseen threats
Hate strapped to an unknown chest
Neither side in the right when death is the answer
Lives torn away from this earth
Suffering becomes a daily routine
Genocide is committed in the name of god
Dreams shattered like windows in a burning building
Children playing amongst the dead bodies
Sacrifice and torture for being born
Dollar sign flashing in the eyes
Willing to trade red gold for black
Everyone dieing for paper
Leaving the children in a desolate world.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

I got to say i'm for the war.  If Hitler had been stopped children wouldn't have been burned in the creamatories of the concentration camps.  And Saddam was testing biological weapons on his own people.  I do wish it would stop to though.  I can't see why these people are fighting except for greed at the expense of others.  Its not like our guys are trying to control and oppress them.  Nice poem.

Thank You littlewing and Thank You green_itchy_stuff.
Though the topic of war does bring conversation to a bloom, however I was not discussing the current situations in Iraq. I was actually just writing about war in general.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
