Ugly Face of War

War reveals a very ugly face

It maims all those it meets

Doesn’t matter of the race

It’s destructive as it greets

Innocents all face scary horror

Breathing in its after affects

Images never fade the gorier

As exposed details disrespects

Mothers and fathers mourn

Families torn up by war’s deed

Wailing aloud is all so forlorn

Somber comfort is more a need

No matter the reason a war has

No matter the destructiveness

No matter of the lads or the lass

Its cruelty grips with hatefulness

War rides with a disfigured heart

It never had nor ever will shine

People fight for a country’s part

Leaving an aftermath maligned.
