Spoils of War

Tragic and weary as I recall

the misfortunate spoils of war

Women, children, babies dead

tears rolling down on soldiers'head



races,blood,country, power

the last of the days and the hour

do we ever see who wins?

do we ever feel victory?

when we see sufferring,death and misery?



why do we quest for whoever's the best

when we all know we just need to be listened to

we are all equal in the eyes of the CREATOR

who has the right to take back our lives and conquer



In my little shelter I ask and pray

that all will find peace and equality someday

for my children and yours' sake

claim back our youth's dream they take

Author's Notes/Comments:
