War is logical

War is logical within its contextual confines.

It is logical within the bounds of a worrying mind.

War is logical in a world that perceives there is not enough to go round.

It is quite logical on these grounds.

War is logical in a world that doubts there is life after death.

For in this context, life must be desperately held onto, while other life spent.

War is logical in a world with a ‘struggling mentality.’

For this is what war ultimately is, a dream come true.

War is extremely logical, when the child must be protected.

But before this event arises, many other things often subtle have been neglected.

War is logical in a world where each person must survive for themselves.

When there is a lack of comradeship and human to human help.

War is a climax, a pinnacle of events see and unseen.

War in this context, is a very logical theme.
