War is a Commodity

War is a commodity, by which we live
A product we all produce and sell
War is the gold we cannot give
A diamond we value well.

War is an economy, a need
A trader’s opportunity to lie
That which has a steady demand
Now abundant in its supply.

War is a currency the world has recognized
A payment so accepted
War is the standard measure of time
By which we have depended.

War is a staple food we eat
A wanted meal on our tables
War is a thirst never quenched
Not even the seas are able.

War is not guns and bombs, my friend
War is you, and so is me
War is indifference and ignorance
An inside mutiny.

-It is a sad time for my country as the Philippine government fights against our own people. War always leave people dead and that is what's really, really heartbreaking.
