War, What Is It Good For? Poem by Justin Reamer

War, What Is It Good For?



War, what is it good for?
For killing each other
And committing mass genocide,
Or fighting over small pieces of land,
For resources that we do not have,
Or for religious reasons no one understands?
Why do we bring out the guns?
To play with our new toys,
To see what they can do?
To have a little fun,
Until someone loses his life?
Just to say that we are more advanced?

Well, we have taken lives,
And we have lost our friends and our comrades,
Losing each other for some lost cause
Unjustifiable as it is.
We die and we continue to
Because we kill each other for no reason at all,
Eventually leading to our destruction.
This war, what is it good for?
Nothing but for leading to our destruction,
For I will never see a brighter day
In this Godforsaken feud that
Shall go on until the end of time.
