I wrote this poem after reading Rudyard Kipling's "Boots," which captures the exhaustion and madness of war. His words stuck in my head-the rhythm, the repetition, the hopelessness. I wanted to respond to that-how even today, the same cycle continues. My poem is about realizing that war doesn't end when the fighting stops; it echoes in minds, families, and history. It's a protest, a reflection, and a question: Why do we still choose war?

58 parts Complete Mature

The world is now in ruins. Most of the world gave up on trying to keep the peace between countries leaving everything to fall apart. Now the world was just completely chaotic. But as we began to destroy ourselves we found the answer to end our war once and for all. Kids. Those who have the most energy, the most resistance, and the most impulsive would be the ones to save us all for the world's permanent end. How? Simple, they needed to learn to fight, think, and act like soldiers. But in a world, this catastrophic, is there even any room for to have a personal life? Room for love? (P.S. This book is under constant editing. There are some major changes that may appear throughout your reading experience. I'm not saying you have to but if you want, be on the lookout for any updates or changes to already published chapters. Aside from that, happy reading!) (P.P.S. This is my first original story that I've published so depending on how this one does, I'll gauge my audience and see what people want in the future from me and my writing)
