Why War? Poem by Ifeoluwa Philips

when will it ends
the day of whispering arrow
that sings with blood on lips
fire on the tongue?
why war?
why not mending our broken world?
why not using the war strategies
to build the fallen walls?
why including flame
to our smoking heart
why should we tamed the curse
coming out of a wineful and unmercy iron
that bleeds with hurts
and blinds its heart to grace
why not embark on love
share when its hurt
wait when its bloodful
sing when the light fade
dance when moon smile
but rather,
songs of fire
never listen to ear
ready to pierce
why war, why war?
