I'Ve Made My Peace With War Poem by Michelle Melody

Do you feel sorry for men at war
it is a fact none can ignore
but you'll have to excuse my apathy
my total dismissal of your melancholy
for your sadness to me is a sadness without reason
for sadness of a death chosen is a grief in a wrong season
I infact have empathy with neonate and geriatric
the pain thrust upon the innocent
for war is the childhood-brat-grownup's way
of fighting and tantrum with rifle and bomb
the fight for earth and land
that does not belong
to anyone...
but God...
so no I do not feel sad
I do not feel sorry
for fighting for a country
signed at your own consent
is joining just a higher form of street gang
peace peace is what all want
peace is not something won by physical battle...
so if to you I seem nonchalant
I am but just of opinion
that men at war are foolish toddlers
fighting for a toy
with human blood on their hands
blood of the innocent
I do not feel sorry for men at war.
