No Righteous War

How often does the battle rage in scripting men and women of youthful age to the war on which we lay our rights calling all to the battle cry of fear and fight? Freedom comes with a disastrous price when misspoken words enrage the hate and internal vice of gun and cannon roar to steal away the best of lives only to be recorded in nameless historic archives. Combative battlegrounds of confrontational hostilities mark the flesh and blood scourge of future inabilities to struggle to live in peace and learn to compromise for land or some fool-hearty franchise shaded heroic disguise. There is no righteous war to sanitize the tears and children's cries left behind to remember and agonize.
