After A While : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


  

After a while you get used to war .

Blood spilling ,  killing ,  and those who are willing to die .

 

After a while you can live with the noise .

Explosions of bombs and missiles and bullets that fly .

 

After a while when the smoke clears the air .

You see everyone around you is wiping their eye .  

 

Then after a while the war escalates .

More innocent die to justify the reason why .

 

After a long while war changes landscapes.

In roads to peace merge where future generations lie .  

 

By Paul McCann
