Relative Peace

You call this relative peace
The war is done.
Mission accomplished.
And yet, the bodies fall as the coffins fill.
When you can’t see an enemy you can’t fight a war.
The fight rages on.
Is this good enough for you ‘cause it sure isn’t good enough for us?
What’s the point,
If you create more destruction than peace,
If the hatred grows,
How can you call this relative peace?

"'cause it sure aint good enough for us" shy away from this, its not poetic or eloquent. also "the bodies fall as the coffins fill" you are impling that people are dieing because coffins are filling, simply referse the two, or say sometihgn like "the bodies fall as the lies (or some other synonmym, or noun of choice) mount"
