The WEIGHT Of WAR.

**The Weight of War**

In the heart of the night, where shadows collide,

The specter of war walks with a heavy stride.

With each step it takes, the earth trembles low,

As echoes of battles begin to bestow.

Once vibrant and green, the meadows now sigh,

Under skies stained with smoke, where the brave dare to fly.

The promise of glory, a mirage in sight,

Turns to ashes and dust in the wake of the fight.

Beneath the dark heavens, where stars used to gleam,

Lie stories of warriors who dared to dream.

With courage like fire, they charged into fate,

But soon found that honor can lead to one’s hate.

The clang of the armor, the roar of the guns,

Are but memories haunting those left when it’s done.

For every bold hero who stands tall and grand,

There’s a tale of a soul lost in blood-soaked sand.

In trenches they huddle, their spirits worn thin,

Each heartbeat a testament to battles within.

The faces of comrades flash bright in their minds—

A brotherhood forged that no war can unwind.

Yet amidst all the c*****e and cries that ensue,

Glimmers of hope spark in hearts brave and true.

For even in darkness, resilience can thrive;

In the ashes of chaos, humanity strives.

Through fields once adorned with wildflowers' grace,

Now scattered with remnants of a forgotten place.

The laughter of children replaced by despair—

What once was a haven now hangs in the air.

But still in the silence where sorrow resides,

The spirit of peace waits patiently bides.

For war is but fleeting—a tempest that fades—

But love is eternal; its light never strays.

So let us remember as we carry this weight—

That every lost life is a chance to create.

A world built on kindness, on bridges not walls—

Where whispers of hope rise above battle calls.

Let history teach us; let empathy grow.

For in every conflict lies room for sorrow.

May we choose understanding over vengeance and scorn—

And nurture a future where compassion is born.
