Favorite Poem: What is War?

What is War

What is War

War is always
War is near
War is here
War is down the road
War is in the road
War is life
War is death
War is what drives some to
War is what drives some away
War is in the air
War is in my pear
War is fun to some
War is sorrow for others
War is always
War is all around us
War is the world in which we live in
I wonder does war last end in heaven


Nicolas Laboy
 
I like this poem because it is simple and easy to understand. It is also able to explain what war really is today by only using a few phrases in a short poem. Last, war has always been one of my favorite topics of conversation so this poem speaks to one of my favorite interests.

  2. This poem is pretty straightforward and like you said, it's very easy which I would also very much agree on.
