There can only be one winner <br />But yet there is loss on both sides <br />A angry army of twisted hopes and beliefs <br />A dream turned into a nightmare <br />Friendships smashed and loved ones lost <br />Nothing to gain but a lot to lose <br />Lives on the line for their countries <br />Leaving their lives to fight for nothing <br />To see friends get hurt and killed <br />A recurring nightmare <br />That’s never supposed to end <br />A shot of a gun <br />One but that’s all it took <br />It’s all over in seconds <br />A young life wasted <br />On meaningless fights <br />A country proud <br />A mother destroyed <br />Family broken <br />A life that’s ended <br />Happiness smothered in despair <br />Nowhere to run <br />Nowhere to hide <br />Just a hole to protect you.<br /><br />Frankie Stones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/war-76/
