Stop The War..


The gruesome General smiles along the battered unpaved way
The child cries of hunger, thirst and shelter or even a cave


The rattled disease beyond the sands
The power within man's hands are beyond comprehend

Live and let live, for death is a mortal's path and not for you to begin the end

For life is a flower as it will bloom one day

Purple, maroon or fire
Green lands will come once again

But war, is an illetrate man's game to gain power - but to what end?

Stop the war..

My younger brother had to write a haiku about war last week so everyone at home was brainstorming, the results were scary and the one he used in the end was horrible.

It's a form of poetry that first was used in Japan, it's all about syallables, usually 5,7,5. Most are written about seasons and such. That's what I know about it, you can search...
