Lonely child
standing in the middle
of the battlefield.
Bullets flying
bombs falling.
Warfare.
is all around
He’ screaming for his mother
but she won’t ever hear him.
She’s not alive but
her eyes are wide open.
Blood spills across her blue dress
mixing to make purple.
the force we all want to end in the world
the battle we allow every day in our relationships
the idea we protest screaming screeching in streets
the stilling silence sitting between me and you.

Love and warfare. So often they go together. We’re stuck in between two worlds. Our interior world of love; our families, the man we’ve decided to stay with for the rest of our lives. Our exterior world of warfare; our countries fighting over boundaries, nuclear power, or soldiers. So little peace happens in both worlds. They mix too much. Confusing us all, and destroying the peaceable medium we once knew. It was a long time ago. But it was there.

War is so over my head. I can not think of a good enough reason to ever kill another person, nonetheless a whole group of people. The fact that there is a strategic way to fight and kill is not something that sits well with me. I have never been interested in war, or its triumphant and honorable aspects.

When i think of warfare i think of Call Of Duty. Due to the fact I don’t know much about warfare, i think it’s about war and killing and bad stuff. I’m not a COD player but i think of Modern Warfare 2.
warfare, I don’t have a full understanding of war.
I know that it is unpleasant and happens when apparently it is the only option, and circumstances produce this.
But is this really a necessary resolution.
No.

Warfare isn’t going anywhere. As long as the rules of economics govern our landscape and color our worldview, people will always be coveting what isn’t theirs and killing their fellow man for the things that they want and don’t have.
everthing can be a war i sometimes love wars their so awesome their better than me

Die Warfaren sind kleine Menschen. Sie sind nicht wirklich Menschen, aber die Bezeichnugn Mensch ist das, was dem am nächsten kommt, was sie sind. Sie leben auf Bäumen. Sie haben die Köpfe unten. Also unten am Boden, während sie auf den Bäumen sind
He sat on the ledge, looking out. What has he done? Where was he? He wasn’t sure. he wasn’t sure what he was or who he had killed. But he had killed. And he was a monster. A man- made killing machine. This isn’t what he signed up for, nothing about this warfare was fair.

War is not fair,
Despite the word,
Warfare.
We fight,
we die,
we argue,
we lie.
War is not fair.
Let’s all join in.
Warfare.

“But how am I dead? And Scout? A dog? Our dog? My dog?” The Zoe asked in amazed ignorance.
“Global warfare as near as I can tell. I mean, if Sweethome, Oregon got nuked with 3 or 4 bombs, I gotta figure that the whole shebang was global.” Jensen answered calmly.
Warfare are the weapons used during the war. I think. Warfare might also be the act of war. Like bombing, shooting, etc. I don’t think I like warfare. I had a dream about being in a war once, not a pretty thing.

“Forget about peace! This is war! You are here to defeat! To kill! And to win! Join the warfare and be a part of your country in mind, body, and soul!”
I made the biggest mistake of my young life.

I hate warfare. You know why? Right now im studying about the Weimar Republic. And the word ‘warfare’ just popped up somewhere in this text I’m reading. I hate reading about the Weimar Republic, and i hate reading about warfare. That’s why i hate warfare. I even hate spelling the word ‘warfare’. Hehe…
the fight for something that is right
americans fight for what we believe, freedom and everyone deserves
we sacrfice our lives for it and those who do are brave and strong and i wish to join them in their fight for freedom

I think of the Holocaust and all the horror that comes with it. It probably does not help that I just finished reading The Book Thief, which is why I think of the Holocaust in the first place. Although, truthfully, the Holocaust has always caught my attention, either from the sheer horror of it, or the fact that every book I have read about it brings me to tears.

It’s sad what people have to deal with these days. War ruins people’s lives. People get killed in war. People will go to war and come back totally different.

Everybody is merry at the War Fair. Mr. Abernathy is introducing a new cluster bomb with little explosive pieces that actually look like candy so that they are sure to attract children.
booms are falling everywhere, its heartbreak warfare.

In the middle of the 21st century man will face the threat of total annihilation. This will be due to a war fought across the globe. This war will not be fought by countries but by Social Network groups.

I hate warfare. It can go to hell. I dislike people that join the military or the army and despise anything that has to do with war, for no one that is a war complice is innocent, not even the victims. That’s about it. Sorry if I had any grammar mistakes. <3

He’s got his green army helmet on, he’s a videogame character with a bayonette at the end, drinking whiskey and his chins got dark hairs. I don’t like this subject because I know I’m going to end up reading a bunch of overly dramatic oneword poems and feel like punching myself in the stomach
She wrote back to him. Heavy messages. Chosen words, that would would.
Then she phoned, and again, barbed words, like small rasors, sharp and shiny.
The game was on, and he was not prepared.
Modern warfare. Ha! As far as Charlie was concerned, it was an oxymoron. What could be remotely modern about two rival factions tearing one another apart? And over what? The dark lands had been destroyed nearly a century before. What did either Azariah or the city-state Tollum care for the irradiated wasteland?

this life is beautiful. i think it’s the best thing in the world. but, some people think it isn’t worth living. I guess you have one choice, with one life. xoxx- lyndsi

I looked outside teh trench. Is this why I was born? The moon shined down and dots of starlit the night sky. “There must be more,” I thought. We, as people, have got it all wrong.
She didn’t know why she was here, really. She was a passive person. She did what others told her to do, most of the time.
Well, no, that is a lie. She does know why she’s here, deep down inside, She does like it. She likes the rush of sparring, the success of getting a square hit. She even likes the pain of being thrown sometimes, because she knows she can get past it.
Other girls at school, they can’t get past the pain. And she isn’t brave at all when the hurt is coming, and she knows that, but she also knows that she can heal from most anything, and the dojo has taught her that.

Warfare is an unnecessary evil in this world. The term warfare differes from war in my opinion. Warfare is a bully’s word. War can happen between people with various goals but to me, warfare is an attack on people – planned.
We started the war with good intentions. We were going to be heroes. At least, that’s what we thought.
In the end, we were nothing more than monsters. And that’s what we became.
We became monsters under the bed, horror stories that children are told by their parents. We were the terrors that bad little boys were warned about.
Rory Walker
There were bombs and fire. People crying, moaning, bleeding. Soldiers trying to defend what little was left of the ravaged village. Devastation. This was the power of warfare.
And far away, a wife sat hollow waiting for her husband to return home safe.

Warfare is a pretty difficult topic to write about when all you know about it is taken from books, TV, movies and video games. I’ve studied some history of it, but that still doesn’t really tell me what it’s actually like. I imagine it’s something you just have have felt to possibly imagine. Too much emotion and passion to be able to describe through simple words. And that’s why it’s scary to me, I think. I just don’t know what it is at all.

warfare is simply put a business deal in which neither side wins and the business men get rich.
Iman Baobeid
The warfare was deafening.
As the demigods clashed against the Giants, battle cries split the air; “For Olympus!” “For Gaea!”
Swords and shields clanged against each other. Arrows and spears whizzed through the air.
Pained screams and anguished shouts stuck out the most.
It was the second battle of the Giants, and the Giants were slowly winning.
But the demigods still had a few tricks up their sleeves.
