Why War?

by Natalia Guzman aged 11

Why war?
An endless fight,
A monotonous feeling,
And it’s never right.

Why war?
It’s truely foul,
Glorification of death,
Sounds of bombing howl.

Why war?
Families suffer,
Separation of families,
No respect for each other.

Why war?
To die for your country?
Why do people encourage murder?
And pay for the mistakes of the monarchy?

Why war?
If you don’t enlist you’re a ‘coward’
But if you do you’re dead, not empowered.
