War
by Oofki on Oct.20, 2010, under Poems
We spend our countless time,
Trying and trying to better our lives,
To build new life,
And make new homes,
Gathering all our courage,
To just let go.
Life is a war,
Our hearts are the thrones,
Our mind the kings,
And our soldiers - everything we have ever known.
Sleepless nights,
With thoughts that go untold,
From the sights we’ve seen,
All the stories we know,
They make up our conflict,
And we all fight to win.
The battles engaged,
And the other’s conquered thrones,
Are irrelevant after we pack our bags,
And head home.
After all the blood,
And grass returns from red to green,
Everyone has returned to their homes,
But the passed - the ones left on the grass,
Their stories won’t live on,
No one cares to retell what they have seen,
They would rather keep what they saw to themselves,
Even if they can’t sleep.
We spend all our lives,
Trying and trying to better our lives,
To build new life,
And make new homes,
Gathering all our courage,
To just let go.
All the fallen - aren’t forgotten,
Just never retold.
