War, Where Has It All Gone Wrong?

War! Where has it all gone wrong?
Death, Destruction everywhere!
Innocent people killing innocent people!
I can't help but wonder…..
What is the point of it all?

BOOM!! Goes the Grenade.
BANG!! Goes the Rifle
Bodies everywhere crashing to the ground
The screams of those dying fills the air with grief

Families are destroyed, many tears are shed.
Children left without fathers or mothers.
Mothers and fathers left without their sons or daughters.
So many lives lost, is it all worth it?

War, a time of sorrow and loneliness.
War, it is the unknown, the outcome impossible to predict.
