Please read the entire poem even if you think it is too long. This is only my second poem I ever made in my life and I want to get better, so helpful feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

The War Within

War has no benefits
It has no good
It has no use
It only causes disaster

And the side that wins
is not the victor
And the side that looses
is not defeated

Hundreds of soldiers
killed in a single skirmish
while hundreds of men, women, and children
are killed in an instant

families torn apart
by war
friends
turned against each other

Who is willing to lead?
Who is willing to die?
Just for honor?
Just for the country?

But I say nay
that isn't enough
to die for honor
is to die for nothing

There is no honor
in this corrupted world
only woe, hates, and sorrow
all because of war

who will lead us?
George W. Bush?
Genghis Khan?
Saddam Hussein?

no, they will soon die out
but the misery will live on
forever
and ever

someone started it
someone screwed it up
maybe the Iraqis
maybe the covenants

whoever did it
we are now diseased
with an incurable virus
with an untreatable cancer

our world will never be
the same
without happiness and joy
there is only war
