War and Peace
those weary eyes looked at me
red, filthy but beautiful to see
between the ground of battle which last
and will go on forever until all breathe their last
covered with blood, sorrow and sweat they were
wondering how much longer this land of mine see them suffer
so many people were killed
and many others fighting their way to join them
it seemed to last forever
never ending it felt
i pass the yesterday smile filled faces which covered in anguish
which didn't help in making my heart peace
the day came and it all ended
no one left to share the win or lose
in the end it seemed in vain
killing their own brothers and fathers but there was nothing to gain
i passed the graves of everyone who cared and didn't too
on it i shed a tear and placed a lily
to every brave heart which lost its soul
for the sake of a friend or their family
