What is War?
A cry, a plight
 Solace is short a sight
 A battle, a mar
 Solace is long a char
 A quarrel among the storm
 Discord calls for no reform.
 Envision explosive chore
 Call of the chime dwelling among a moor.
 
 Straining stride in the heat of the core
 Tales to be told from the heart of the lore.
 Antebellum prior to the catastrophic dire
 Defeats the mentality of desire.
 
 Desert to the wood
 The plague pervades to where it could
 Primitive conflict feeds the blightly fed cause.
 Tundra to the sea
 Reluctant souls, resisting to flea
 So far lost a cost
 Externally forced upon the lost.
 
 For a truce, From a prayer
 The fortitude through sought from spare.
 For dignity through the tide
 From the pense of pride.
 For the cause of man
 Through the fast strength
 By the cause of time.
 Within the shadow of integrity
 Lies a voice, seemingly unsublime.

Thought-provoking and very well written. I am jealous of your vocabulary! :)
Your poem reminded me of this quote:
"War does not determine who is right- only who is left." -Bertrand Russell
I definitely believe you have a future in writing. Brilliant.
