War And Terrorism Poem by Francis Duggan

Of war and terrorism we may never be free
They are closely related is how it seems to be
The difference between them seems hard to explain
As they both give rise to death, grief and physical and mental pain
Many glorify war but in truth one can say
That war leads to terrorism it is often this way
Terrorists kill people and soldiers do too
But what is murder to me may not be so to you
Territorial and cultural and religious wars have been going on for years
Extreme violence only gives rise to death, suffering and tears
Humans are deliberately killing humans in the World every day
This is the price for major conflicts we do pay
War and terrorism are related is how it seems to be
Though many with this may well disagree.
