That Big War Poem by Dorsey Baker
That Big War
Just like a big monster
With big feet
Stampeding through the street
That big war
It won't back down
It won't turn around
That big war
It comes along
The fighting is
So heavy and so strong
That big war
Is what the people don't want!
That big war
So much bigger
Than it needs to be!
That big war
Such an ugly
Sight to see
Very true, dear poet. No one wants wars, except for the "leaders", the ruling community. They ask you to fight and kill and die, in the name of "patriotism". What they lack, because they don't fight and they don't die…

Beautiful poem, albeit poignant. Lovely meter, forceful metaphor and exquisite choice of words
