Code Of Men Poem by Matt Bennett

This poem represents my view on wars, and how I find that war in the modern age seems to be fought without honour, when if you look at wars in the past you may be able to see that although men are fighting between each other, there still is a hint of honour in war. How in early 17th-19th century wars prisoners of war, were given full quarters and medical aid, but these days that isn't the case. I do also talk about how the USA claim to be the land of the free (or in my words, the promised land) , yet the USA is built on the blood of their enemies. I know that many people may not agree with my point of view on this, but that's what this is, a point of view, an opinion, it is not fact. But I ask of you, if you do not agree with my opinion, please do not read into the meaning behind this poem, and just read it. I thank all those who read, comment and rate this poem. Your comments I find a great help to my poetry.
