War Is Not Food Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

War is not food;
Why hunger and thirsty of it?
War is not good;
Why plunder and clamour for it?
Going the way that is unjust
Is a way to endanger innocent souls
Living itself could be worst
When we refused to be friends but foes
The people we're called to serve
In turn we've made to starve
While in seek of our own bargain
Our joy we suddenly mixed with pain
Of what use is war when we've got more reasons to live?
If truly we're one is there any reason to kill?
Is there no other way we can achieve a reform if we refrain to feed by the gun?
Does it feel good to hurt the ones we claim we love?
War is not food;
Why hunger and thirsty of it?
War is not good;
Why plunder and clamour for it?
