You've shared a poetic piece that belies denial and apathy. The vivid images the lines provoke contribut to the heart felt sadness you obviously experience regarding war. I, for one, think we can't write and speak enough about the subject, and I, too, have written many stanzas bringing attention to the senseless greed and power mongering that seems to provide the underpinning of the monster of destruction. After experiencing a well written war poem I'm always left figuratively scritching my head in wondering if AI might be helpful in minimizing wars. Of course, one has to also be fearful that the use of AI might do just the opposite. Back to your poem, keep writing. We need your clarity of choice of premise, style and vocabulary for more rewarding reading.

You remind me that I hope I never have to see war, close up in my lifetime.
