Poetry: Civil War

America tore apart,
when bullets were shot through a heart.

Blue versus gray,
and to our dismay,
all of them,
were American!

North shot South,
Cannons fired,
soldiers hired,
all to win the war.

Muskets shot out,
round about,
more and more people were sore.

Many have died,
just to strive,
to debate if slavery was just.

The war was long over,
but before it would end,
the president was dead,
and that ended the war.

    Be not afraid boy,
    war is won for you.
    It no longer matters
    you wore grey or wore blue.
    Be not afraid boy,
