What do you think this poem is about?

War! War! War!

...........................................War! War! War!
...................................Is all that people talk about.

................................... .......War! War! War!
.................................Is all that people think about.

................................... ......War! War! War!
...................................Is all that we hear about.

................................... ......War! War! War!
................................Nobody cares for what it does.

.................................... ....War! War! War!
..............................Nobody listens to warnings.

................................ .....War! War! War!
........................Nobody hears the cries of death.

................................... ..War! War! War!
................It destroys lives, hopes, and dreams for peace.

................................... ...War! War! War!
........................................O how I hate it.

...................................... ....War! War! War!
......................It goes on for generations, forever, never ending.

.................................. ...........War! War! War!
............................................. ....I hate it so!

Critics welcome.

    War, dealth, and destruction are an affront to the God who created us. But do you know, there is only one religion which teaches 'Love Your Enemy':

    You know a lot of poets try to write about
    war expressing the same sentiment that
    you do. The difference is, you don't waste
    words or time. In doing so, you treat the reader
    with respect. I love the way you write. I'll put you down as a return.
