White Flag

White flag is the biggest worry Of combat-ready soldiers already in a moving lorry: Of communities with vampires thirst for blood Wishing to with the dead cemeteries flood... Of militants who denied the chance for murder For themselves feel mortally sorry And dreadfully out of order The restraining factor, a thing to pillory. White flag - the greatest dislike of angered cattle, Who disapprove of a truce midway a heated battle... Of terrible incendiaries and the worst guns That love to ignite that which burns... White flag is the most innocent job of tailors Nurturing dreams more ennobling than dollars Sibling of elderly Olive Branch That enables the attacked in the morning to eat a peaceful lunch.
