I didn't really spend much time on this. Maybe 10-15 minutes, so i hope it's good.
This poem was inspired by the quote "Was may sometimes be a necessary evil, but no matter how necessary, it is always an evil. Never a good." ~Jimmy Carter (I do believe...). Anyways! Hope you like it! Critique needed!
War should never be glorious,
There is no honor in death.
War should never be celebrated,
When it means a society’s final breath.
War may sometimes be a necessary evil,
But necessity does not change evil to good.
War may often be the only option,
But that doesn’t mean it should.
Those who die for their countries,
Are the bravest who’ve ever been.
But the necessity for death
Should always be counted as sin.
Take for example the necessity,
For Bin Laden to die.
It was celebrated throughout the nation,
But what gives us the right?
We had no choice, we did the right thing,
But what people need to see,
Is that death is a cause of great anguish and pain,
No matter who’s death that might be.
A soul is a soul. A life is a life.
And many more examples there will be.
But war is always an evil, never a good,
No matter the necessity.
