War is Hell

War is Hell

A Poem by Gomer LePoet
"

Internal conflicts create internal wounds

"

War is Hell

another sleepless night

closing my eyes doesn't seem to help

it's hard to sleep when there is war

the endless battle of slung arrows

days of waiting for the final words

negotiations and false rumors

days of peace and tranquillity

followed by nights of staying low

trying to understand the plan

the denials of internal distruction

the retreats followed by ambush

the no can do's followed by I love you's

it appears that a clearing is just up ahead

the tears of anguish no longer flow

you become numb to pain after a while

you learn to sleep with your eyes open

the last bullet has been fired

your friend becomes your enemy

your enemy becomes your friend

war is hell
