    A Beutiful War Poem

    Heres Beutiful Poem I Found About War and it's called blood red moon:

    Blood Red Moon


    Night sky to the moon does yield
    to the very same ancient moon
    that shone on the battlefield.
    It saw the weeping weary soldier
    holding his brother as he kneeled.
    It saw on his face the wash of tears
    that has lasted in memory for years
    It shone on the winter at Valley Forge.
    It did see the battlefields with blood gorge
    And it saw the dying on the icy ground
    as the soldiers fired round after round.
    Did it catch the cries of the wounded lying
    and hear the crying for the loved ones dying?
    Did it hope that at last with freedom won
    this war would really be the very last one?
    It, in silence, hoping, just kept shining on.

    It did see brother against brother
    in a Civil War terrible as no other.
    At the Little Big Horn did hide its face
    because of the life lost in that place.
    And how about World War One;
    Did it not shine on till war was done?
    We sent almost every mother’s son.
    What a celebration when war was done;
    It was glad to shine upon that one

    And even during World War Two
    its shining light kept on true.
    Just another war, what could it do?
    Then came Korea and Vietnam
    and it hid its face before shining on.
    The crosses grow, row upon row
    Its gleam does reflect off them so.
    Now it shows its light in Afghanistan
    To see more battles in a foreign land

    Why must we forever constantly war?
    Have we not learned anything before?
    The moon it seems will always endure,
    Watching that which we say we abhor
    but engage in, just as careless as before
    The moon has been there since before time.
    It shone on the earth when it was sublime
    Reflects to us its pure white light and so
    Earth sends back battles’ blood red glow
