Warm Beer Is Not Cool: Poems On War

By James Sawers

War is armed conflict. It is generally characterized by extreme aggression, destruction, and mortality. In other words, things blow up, and people bleed and die, usually for some over-reaching reason beyond immediate survival, as determined by someone else in some kind of power structure. People and societies wage war for various reasons, but, bottom-line, combatants and civilians die. Many times in the most cruel of ways. The poems in this volume, the second in the War series, talk about war, battle, loss, and their consequences.Only survivors and history can decide if a war was worth it, but who asks the dead? Cold, hard facts Can actually be much warmer Than inflexible, hot opinions Spite and venom are not facts Divisiveness does not make us free Hatred does not make us brave War is not peace by other means James Darwin
