Honors Literature (Freshmen)
13 Ways to Look at...
1
The inevitable storm
Unstoppable, unavoidable.
2
The Liberator
It frees nations
and overthrows tyrants.
3
The Destroyer
Raping, pillaging, burning.
It moves across the land,
Leaving nothing untouched.
4
Hatred. Pure unbridled rage.
Stopping at nothing,
Venting itself on the weak and helpless.
5
A new beginning.
Tearing down old rulers,
Setting up new ones.
6
A family feud.
In time, the cause is forgotten.
7
A holy war.
Sanctified,
Not with God's grace,
But with blood.
8
Protecting a people
From an enemy
Who had never threatened them
Destroying a people,
Who never threatened anyone.
10
A quagmire.
So easily entered,
But impossible to leave.
11
The widow maker.
Families are left fatherless,
Motherless.
12
The driving force,
It brings rivals together,
And pitches friends against each other.
13
The Liberator, Destroyer
The End, the Beginning.
Hatred. Rage.
The many faces of War.
