War is an abomination to be eradicated from the face of the earth by any and all means possible, although unfortunately that may mean more war to eradicate war...a never ending cycle...

Bore is a war, better to just get a piece,


 


Lore of war, not a succulent feast,


 


More we have of war, less we have of young men, at least,


 


Store the world’s weapons, making cakes with the grease,


 


Whore be that of battles, herein we need to decrease,


 


Soar into battles, go our boys in planes, in the sky they fly like geese,


 


Tore unto hearts of mothers, who’s boys do become men in an instant, their


 


                                     lives just on lease…


 


 War is the whore…The only answer is...................Peace!

"...Their lives just on lease" Wow, Ed.. that is an amazing, truth-filled line of poetry. The ache for peace is very real, isn't it? You've expressed it from such a human perspective. Great work here. katy xox.
