Another in the series of A to Z poems, where the words move alphabetically. You can read the earlier one here. I have used “ex” for the letter x. Could not think of an appropriate word beginning with it. If any of you can think of one, please share 🙂
Across boundaries conflicts descend
ember flames glow,
horrid incidents, jolts kids
lurid massacres numb peace,
quells rational solution
tension usurps violence,
war exhausts
yowl zillions!
Great poem!

Excellent and wars are like that. They do not bother about anyone and their cries, just kill and kill randomly for what who knows. Beautiful lines penned for War and the picture is so apt but so sad seeing the child mercilessly crying.

Thanks Kamal. War only brings mayhem and destruction to all. I pray people stop it all together. No issue is worth waging a war for!
