Original image by crAIyon.com - deconstruction of said image all me!

we call ourselves civilised

pretending all of this is fine

war is blunt force trauma

war is a fucking crime!

-//-

made with hate and fuelled by lies

the killing is violence by design

war is killing children

war is a fucking crime!

-//-

look at the example we are setting

how we continually fudge and blur that line

war is immoral and indecent

war is a fucking crime!

-//-

a pernicious production line of murder

industrially proud of its pestilential profits

war is the ending of lives and nations

war is a fucking crime!

-//-

and all of the hatred this produces

each and every fucking time

war is the creation of hell on earth

war is a fucking crime!

    Yes, Yes, Yes. The anger in your words is the same for many around the world. What is it going to take to stop this bullshit. There is no defense for what has happened in the past or what is happening right now across the world. Powerful poem. Well done.

    Yes! I felt the intensity behind each word you wrote- I found myself sort of screaming it in my head as I read it. Brilliant! 🙌🏽
