War (acrostic)

by Phil   Oct 18, 2016


Wives and children are left behind
As the bravest of boys change into men,
Returning with injuries or in their tombs.

    As Em says, a hard hitting piece:

    Wars

    When
    Armed conflict
    Ruins lives
    Somethings terribly wrong.

    Phil what a beautiful little piece. It will hurt some to read it, as it is the truth, and well truth hurts..
    war is a terrible thing but its apart of our daily life.
    Well done on this write Phil.

    Wow, what a hard hitting piece full of truths and images that will stay with us until our troops come home and our wars end completely.

    Great, eye opening write.
