WHAT DID YOU GAIN?
WHAT DID YOU GAIN?
Soldier, who is stained with blood,
you or that who sent you there?
You kill those whom you don't know.
How can you such an act bear?
You sometimes are sent abroad
to attack who are at home,
and return with esteemed hands;
can that with your mind conform?
Don't you think that you killed some
who are dear to their poor kin?
Just a question l ask you
what did you by that act gain?
