War

When the final battle  

Is finally won or lost  

Can we count the casualties 

And the unseen human cost  

 

The loss of lives and dignity  

To soldiers and their kin 

And the realization was  

Did anybody win 

 

Soldiers led to believe  

They’re protecting, their country, 

Flag, and home  

Sacrificing life and limb 

While politician’s drone  

 

I’d like to see  

These men of words  

Put on the forward lines  

But I suspect if they  

Were offered this  

They surely would decline  

 

War they say, is good for nothing  

And I think most would agree  

Except for those, without a soul  

And who profit from misery
