War Jargon
Some say, “he took a life,”
or many lives,
some say it that way
and do not call it what it is.
Where would we take that life anyway,
and it we took it away
what would we do with it?
Imagine having to keep
the ‘taken'’ somewhere
killing would be such a waste
of a soldiers duty and training.
Every home would be a prison camp,
and not just for those taken,
but for those who took.
