Whilst villains and dictators plot wars fueled by gluttony. Are you happily safe and secure in your abode? The time draws closer as I write up this ode. What will you do when the war hits home abruptly?
Would you do something to improve you and your loved ones survival? Would you buy the propaganda and take part in the play? Would you live in despair, yet hope it all goes away? Would you bide your time to attempt a mass societal revival?
Would you attempt to increase morale by providing hilarity? Would you go out of your way to help others in need? Would you capitalise the situation by feeding your greed? Would you turn against your fellow man yet feign solidarity?
We are taught to spread love but it seems the other way around. Perhaps you may think "This talk of war sounds so strange." If one thing is for certain, it is certainly change. What will you do when the air raid sirens sound?

About this poem:
This was an early work of mine which was fueled from frustration of everyone's attitude and ignorance towards war and the results it has on the human race.
