Pm: Retreat (Draft) (25.02.22)

The following poetry is a rough draft. I'm yet to edit it, but I put it here to hear your suggestions and apply your corrections. Ciao!

*****

Retreat, you atrocious villains;

Go back to your tents,

Get your act together,

Love one another.

Nothing is as more disastrous as war,

And nothing so unquenchable:

The calamity of corpses littering the streets

And houses being left for pets to inherit;

Wars are disasters of a lifetime.

Economies crumble, nations fall,

Kings give up their people to the slaughter,

And everyone is left to fend for themselves;

Who does not suffer in a war?

However, you do not take these lessons seriously,

You send your Forces like an army of locusts,

All in the name of suspicions and distrusts;

Your aim is to demilitarize them, you say:

But was use is it if civilians are piled up in heaps?

Stop! Do not be a monster in human form;

Can you not just led this slide?

Why so determined to see the war glide?

Or are you just too thirsty for human blood?

Retreat, you atrocious villains:

You and your leader; go back home.

Do not give the world a heart attack,

Neither take the world aback;

Be as human as you once were.

Moreover, a villain is always a villain,

And villains are meant for destruction;

But it may not be all too late to re-learn

And evade the incoming explosion.
