Atrocity Division
trading as War Crimes Inc.
we call ourselves civilised
pretending all of this is fine
war is blunt force trauma
war is a fucking crime!
-//-
made with hate and fuelled by lies
the killing is violence by design
war is killing children
war is a fucking crime!
-//-
look at the example we are setting
how we continually fudge and blur that line
war is immoral and indecent
war is a fucking crime!
-//-
a pernicious production line of murder
industrially proud of its pestilential profits
war is the ending of lives and nations
war is a fucking crime!
-//-
and all of the hatred this produces
each and every fucking time
war is the creation of hell on earth
war is a fucking crime!

Amen indeed!! 😔 Truth telling poem. Great job Brenton.
This is the ultimate truth! A very powerful poem!
Yes, Yes, Yes. The anger in your words is the same for many around the world. What is it going to take to stop this bullshit. There is no defense for what has happened in the past or what is happening right now across the world. Powerful poem. Well done.
Yes! I felt the intensity behind each word you wrote- I found myself sort of screaming it in my head as I read it. Brilliant! 🙌🏽
