My Attempt on Slam Poetry about War

By N/APublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The shots of the gun

The worry of who's won

Not to mention the engines that run

Or when this will all be done

The cameras that click

The clocks that tick

The stomachs running sick

Which one will be Death's next pick

The assembly of tanks

The turning of cranks

The stocks and the banks

The metals going clank

The artillery shells flying high

The many ideals that die

The babies that cry

And the end never draws nigh!

These battles, the war

Who do they fight for

Who is keeping score

And why do they want more

Cities, countries, tearing apart at the seam

Even victory tastes not as sweet as cream

Whatever can be done for them to redeem....

The fires, the blasts, the light

For the unprepared this is quite a sight

The soldiers press on with all their might

All this to see who is right.
