War by Brett Griggs

Our very first submission. I am overjoyed. I want to say a huge thank you to Mr. Brett Griggs who submitted his work immediately after this blog went live. I also like to include background if I can, as to acquaint you with the person who penned the work. He tells me this was the very first poem he ever wrote. Excellent job Brett, Write On! 

War

Fight inside a world,

Visualize the hate.

As napalm rips through sanity,

We fall unto a darkened state.

They threaten us with bloody siege

And tear us from the womb.

They desecrate through inhumanity,

Enclose us in the tomb.

Now I lay me down to die,

Blackened and so alone.

Till a child shall find my body

And finally bring me home.
