Wasting

We played it like a game of chess.
Mark up your kingdom's territories Queens.
Keep the knights in order should the King fall,
You are all the castle has.
We strategize it like generals,
Consider the defense as you would the offense,
The war must be won.
We fight it like soldiers.
Gear up, arms in hand.
March forward in formation
Shoot out blood thirsty.
Run, bomb , destroy.
Do what you do to win the war.
You lives for the freedom of others.
Your blood spilled while we drink tea.
For we are humans , we take it all like there is no tomorrow,
Till none is left but tears.

Poet's note: The poem is about how we humans have destroyed our planet through wars and selfish needs. With poverty and global warming , I feel we have none to blame but ourselves for justifying and send others to the death for greed
