The Ravages of War (Poetry-Max Storm)

The Ravages of War

How Sad but True this Tale Unfolds of those so many Ravages of War From Post Traumatic Stress to Combat Weariness Confess

From Murdered Innocents so Young to Sons and Daughters Yet Unfound From Husbands - Wives and Lovers Lost to Broken Dreams - Such Heavy Cost

From Haunting Memories which Flash The Sounds of Death and Blinding Sounds With Which they Crash

The Deadly Silence Which was Near are Sounds of Nothing Which I Fear

And you might ask: "Of what the Worth" and Senseless Answers we Endorse

Yet we will Ponder More and More Why lives are lost In Senseless, Savage Ravages of War
