War to End All Wars

War to End All Wars

I once lived in a beautiful world.

A world full of pure beauty,

But that all changed when the bombs dropped.

Now all I see is great despair.

A world full of nothing more than the dead.

This was the war to end all war.

I never wanted to fight in a war.

I never wanted to see a destroyed world.

Never wanted to find my best friend next to me dead.

All I wanted to see was beauty.

But I have learned that wants only make despair.

I realized this when the first bomb dropped.

That first bomb I will never forget where it was dropped.

It was my sole reason to go to war.

I went to this war hoping to make my enemies feel my despair.

I went to this war to show them what they did to my world.

I went to this war to make sure they would never find beauty.

The first bomb that landed was on my family's house, which is now a family dead.

I never planned to see my best friend next to me dead.

All I heard was something being dropped.

All I felt was the end of true beauty.

This all happened because of one war.

A war which was against the entire world.

A war that left nothing but despair.

I hate the feeling of despair.

It makes me want to be dead,

To lay with the rest of them in this world.

I'll never forget the day when I was shot and dropped.

Not only did I survive, but I also left the war.

Only after the war I thought is when I could be able to see beauty.

All I wanted when I returned was beauty.

All I got was yet a another constant feeling of despair.

I thought everything would be better after I left the war.

After I got away from all the dead.

Away from all the bombs being dropped.

But even after I left the war all I got was a shattered world.

A world without beauty.

A world cursed by the dead.

A world full of despair.

A world full of reminders of everything that was dropped.

A world scarred by war.

This is my world.

Hello Night Cartoon...

Welcome to Cosmo! 

First, your story is very tragic and sad...

Many of us don't believe in war as ever being a good thing...

Many don't care as I am sure you are aware...

Second, yes there are times that revenge calls and you need to defend...

I am sorry that you were injured, sorry for the loss of your family and friends...

I am glad you survived...

Many need you on their side...

Thank you for sharing! 

Hugs...
