i like this-
although personally think that the first line would read better either
"Tears, profit of war"
or even better
"tears, war profits"
thats just my opinion-
i like what this poems says....

Now, just to be a nuisance, I am going to suggest you delete those quotation marks in line 1.

There is a little bit of confusion in the poem, I feel. What is traded? - the tears? But the idea that the profits of war are tears is a good one.

Indeed, Melly... wonderful analogy very well penned. Tears for violence... War is Terrorism. Best wishes, Mary Ann

there are always people ready to trade their humanity to make profits in war. usually the people who start them - penny ear tickles and peace - paul.
