Conscription
Let all the war hawks
And war hungry
World leaders
Be conscripted
To stand on the front lines
To satisfy their souls
Thirst for war
In straight
Regimental lines
As the world
Hears their whines

Foundation of the piece.
Would the thirst for war have a different narrative, if those advocating for it, served on the front lines?
