War Is...A Dichotomy
War is boredom
Like an acid
Ever present gently
melting your important organs
War is a paradox
Almost everything is true
Almost nothing is true
Searching, searching for answers
War is terror
Burning rage
Its all fire
They make the mountains burn
War is an adventure
It's like an appetite
Eating you from the inside out
Where you can feel closest to yourself
War is holiness
An ugly quest for a beautiful purity
An allegiance to obscenity and evil
War is a fire
Devouring everything in its path
Igniting you
then burning you away into nothing
War is never about war
Its about love and memory
Its about sorrow
Its about sisters who never write back
And its about people who never listen

I liked how you did a different war is.. statement every few lines then had different evidence and words to describe how war is like all of those adjectives. It had an overall view of the many things war is like good job!
ReplyDeleteIt was cool how the text really made me feel the emotions of war in my gut. The imagery was good and the comparison of war to other things made it more understandable.
