Night dawns on the land,
For the light has gone.
The men have dropped their weapons,
If only for a moment.

And though tomorrow brings more strife,
More innocent blood shed,
And more guilty blood born,
For now there is peace.

If only it would last.

It is simplistic and easy to understand so it conveys the message well. The description is good but sometimes it feels like you start a rythm but then completely drop it in the next line. You use a variety of simple and more complicated language in order to aid your descriptions and you end it nicely to give an impact on the reader. Its good, well done.

This is a chilling & amazing poem. I feel like you really got the point across... I love that you were able to get such a huge point across in so few words. Great job!

The world is in an endless turmoil. It has one day of peace and bliss but that day is too short.
