Battle after Battle

Battle after battle
Fight after fight
Throughout the day
And into the night
House by house
Street by street
Hiding behind burned out cars
Soldiers stay on their feet
Step by step, door to door
Abandoned homes, soldiers sleep on the floor
Battle after battle
Fight after fight
Soldiers pray for a quiet night
Afraid to sleep, stay awake
Enemies in the shadows, ready to fight
Soldiers stay out of sight
Battle after battle
Fight after fight

This should not be. It's time for humanity to seek peace, although I know it will never happen. Poignant words. Sad. Frightening. Disturbing. How can one come home well after that? It's inhuman behavior.
