War Is Hell
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

 War is a hell, that has a long life.

Ask any veteran of combat

If he still remembers when

The battle was over.

 

Maybe it's better

To let it lie.

The dead are buried,

But memories are slow to die.

Our long-term memory stores the most emotional incidents in our lives. There is probably nothing more emotional than the horror of battle. I am fortunate not to have experienced it. Or any other horrifying event that I can recall involving the death of others.

My hats off to you and all veterans who have overcome those memories so well.

You got that right. I wonder if man will ever conquer his savage side, and live in peace.

I agree with you. Wars are no good. Wars are destructive to the people and the world.
