Take me where the demons live
I want to learn how they kill love
Peace lies cold in a graveyard far
It wonders what the soldiers died for
There’s power, greed, a hunger fierce
They turn all good into a stupid farce
I stand alive and thinking, but I stand alone
Let them destroy everything, then align

I like the way your poem is topical without losing poetic tension — the pararhyme keeps everything just a little off-kilter, which suits the prompt perfectly. Cold truths in a cold world. Well crafted..

When everything is destroyed, it will all be destroyed again. Your poem makes me feel anger and sadness.

Reena, I feel the pararhyme in “farce” and “fierce” adds a haunting tension that really fits your theme. The whole piece chills me with quiet defiance.
