the war that nobody won


This was something I wrote a while ago, and you never saw it. I wanted you to. I like it, well enough I guess. But I always needed your opinion on anything I wrote. Here 'tis:

This war rages ever on and on
And nothing can be found
Of those who've fought and died and lost
And strayed from freedom's ground

The war is still, victory claimed
They say we fought a good fight
But how do they know what's true, and good
If they're only the ones who survived

The war will never truly end
At least, that's what they say
As long as there're memories, broken hearts
As long as there's hell to pay

The war has burned all it pays
All songs of hope are done
Now everything's still, paid in full
But tell me again, who won?
