War is unnecessary
If peace is to be attained
Humanities worth is what should remain
Murder is just horribly insane.
Hope this helps you.I give you permission to use this beginning of my own creation. Take care.

Read "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae. That should help inspire you. It is a poignant poem about World War I and a military cemetery in France.
Also, as a general rule, rhyme your poem. Robert Frost said that writing poems that don't rhyme is like playing tennis without a net. He's right. Free verse is worth just that--nothing.
Just do your best to be creative, and not pedestrian, and you will do fine. Dwelling on your own experience is helpful, because it is yours and there's nothing you need to invent.

1. Alsvartr (The Oath)
[Words, music & arrangements: Ihsahn.]
[4:18]
Hark, O'Nightspirit,
father of my dark self.
From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth,
by this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed,
I call silently from Thy presence, as I lay this oath.
May this night carry my will
and may these old mountains
forever remember this night.
May the forest whisper my name
and may the storm bring these words
to the end of all worlds.
May the wise moon be my witness
as I swear on my honor,
in respect of my pride and darkness itself,
that I shall rule by the blackest wisdom.
O'Nightspirit!
I am at one with thee.
I am the eternal power.
I am the Emperor.
Winds and storms, embrace us now.
Lay waste the light of day.
Open gates to darker lands.
We spread our wings and fly away.

War is the Father of Civilisation. That's something Heraclitus said...maybe you could develop that idea.
