What's to gain?

[amethyst]

This goes to all those lives lost in the so-called war against terrorism. The valuable lives of Iraqis and Soldiers alike. And to their broken families. All wasted to nothing.

A pain, without gain.

My question, to Mr. Goerge W. Bush:

And so you leave
Defeated, unrewarded
The question still dangles somewhere,
Why was it even started?

Proof less, you accused us
Then what else could you say?
To meet your evil intentions,
Perhaps war was the only way

But the lives lost, cannot be revived,
The tears wept, cannot be dried
The broken toys cannot be mended
Nor the hearts, of those who survived

So as you leave, now that you’re done,
May I just dare to ask you?
Was it all worth it then?
Or has man lost his value?

Please don’t blame all this on fate,
If your heart melts, so does your hate,
Your redemption, is not out of courtesy, sir,
Time is lost. Now it’s too late.

i don't know why this poem hasn't gotten any replys but it touchs on a very important subject! the cost of a life is not worth any price, it shouldn't be used to prove any point, and lives definetly shouldn't be taken over and over just because some leader doesn't want to feel like a quitter! americans we're lead to feel patriotic when we should have felt like supporters of genocide! this is a good poem!
