War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
~Bertrand Russell
We decide whether War is right or wrong
just as a child chooses sides, wanting to belong
~Shar
As if hunger hasn't plagued,
many a concave stomach
As if the Gods haven't converged,
and fought us as one
As if rancour hasn't invaded,
delicate hearts and minds
As if longing hasn't bathed,
our souls in a terrible light
As if our will hasn't been broken,
and smashed into smithereens
As if the world hasn't become,
half of what it used to be.
We surge forward to battle
each other to the death
only to inflict torture,
to make each other
horribly inept.

Yet Another Trench
As if hunger hasn't plagued,
many a concave stomach
As if the Gods haven't converged,
and fought us as one
As if rancour hasn't invaded,
delicate hearts and minds
As if longing hasn't bathed,
our souls in a terrible light
As if our will hasn't been broken,
and smashed into smithereens
As if the world hasn't become,
half of what it used to be.
We surge forward to battle
each other to the death
only to inflict torture,
to make each other
horribly inept.
