A War Song Poem by Skm Milk

Could one ever look out into pure desolation
and see the future of its reconstruction?
Or perhaps the reverse- look into perfection
and see destruction?
Can you sense such a fear that leaves
the taste of a blood that your mind cannot ease?
Can the kiss of the sun's angelic rays
put an end to misery of a million drear days?
But more importantly, of much more urgency,
practically emergency
Have you ever heard a song?

A song with tear jerking movement,
one that inspires self-improvement,
A song for the worst and the best of us all
who bear walls, and are stalled, and
find it harder to stand tall.

A song within a song that sings of love
and integrity, and earnest, and innocence above.
One that paves a path in the moment of wrath,
and opens our eyes to the aftermath.

One that lingers in our ears
damning all that causes fear
and hurt and pain;
a sanctuary that's been sang
of through holes of our darkling world.
Such a song exsists? ! Such's been unfurled?
Oh, then let us prepare for the worst of this world,
for he who invokes peace, should prepare for war.
