Ah, you highlighted very well, a bleak angle of war. I can take this senryu several ways actually. I see that you have been on a short-form binge of sorts....honing the discipline, eh.

Hay, my friend, it's one of absolute truth of life of war. Children I always love with my true heart. I will be very lucky, if God takes my life by giving all lives to the Children of this World. We are still failed to love them in many ways. Yours are always genius, I feel. You show one but touch the other, it's your excellent style of writing. Thanks always, bl
