The Case of War
The Case of War…
Often tried—never denied.
Wars can never be prosecuted;
their actions are said to be victimless—
even crimeless!
Collateral damage is coincidence—consequence
of the unusual precedence of freedom won.
Their realities are evidence of nothing but the truth:
the whole truth!
War has always been constitutionally just.
The defense rest—bail rescinded—war freely goes on.
Peace remains on trial.
All rise…
