*Spoilers*
I belive that in the end Cobb was actually in reality. The top kept spinning for a while, but when it started to shake and then the screen went black I assume that the top was actually going to fall.

Alright, I guess I'm done then.
Is this better?
What is war?
Is it a time that none adore?
Is it based on pure hate?
Or is it against people's rights to meditate?
Is it good for anything?
Or is it just a way to feel like a king?
Lining up to be shot down.
Never to return to their hometown.
How do people feel when murdering men?
Do they become savages who feel the need to kill again?
People dying without reason.
War gives death its own season.
Are the two new lines good and placed in the right spot?
[QUOTE="Dave8D2"]Getting there...might want to try and change the "is it good for anything"...just feels weird when reciting it..:P..also you can try putting in some imagery that many would find negative as a way of getting your point across...can it be more then 10 lines?..Yes it can be more than 10 lines. What do you think I should change "Is it good for anything?" to?I think I'm gonna go with this:

Do you think that the second line makes sense?

Well what else rhymes with war that will fit there?[QUOTE="Dave8D2"]
[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]
The line about gore still just doesn't sit well with me :(..otherwise i think it's better then the other one...you may also want to try reading some of Wilfred Owen's poems for inspiration such as Dulce Et Decorum Est..they may help you get more ideas in regards to what words to use and such..

A time that all abhor?...Lined up before the rifles..thundering loud, blinded by the clouds of red as shells rain down, men lay crying, slowly dying...life stains the sands red, Watch your brothers die with bodies weighted down by lead?..
The abhor thing might work. I can't have you rewriting the entire poem for me though.[QUOTE="Dave8D2"]Well what else rhymes with war that will fit there?scorch-62Have you tried, you know, NOT making it rhyme?That's too much effort for a stupid little assignment like this.

I think the bolded lines were the ones that felt a bit out of place..you might want to try portraying your theme with more finesse..instead of just laying out flat claims such as "people dying for no reason" try and let the reader come to his/her own conclusion about war...but in the process also letthem know what you think about it subtly...use negative words..and try and create imagery that's negative..

What is war?
Is it any battle that has gore?
Is it based on pure hate?
Or is it against people's rights to meditate?
Is it beneficial for anything?
Or is it just a way to feel like a king?

Do they become savages who feel the need to kill again?

I had to write a 10 line poem about war for english class and I wrote this:
What is War?
What is war?
Is it any battle that has gore?
Is it based on pure hate?
Or is it against people's rights to meditate?
Is it good for anything?
Or is it just a way to feel like a king?
Do people feel good when killing a man?
Or do they become savages without plan?
People dying for no reason.
War gives death its own season.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

I have a newer draft. Not much is different except one of the lines:
People dying without reason.
War gives death its own season.

So far these are your best lines, personally I would rewrite as:
War is Death's season, to claim life without reason.
You could run with that scheme, and rhyme:
AA
BB
CC
Or take it in some other direction. You may want to change the subject as someone suggested earlier, however do as you will and be your own guide.
I don't know. I don't feel that changing the last two lines the way you suggest makes it flow as well as it does right now.
