another soldier
the warring they
the dying you
the weeping we
the orphaning the children
the widowing the mothers
the tragedy of enmity
the sacrilege of sanctity
the villainy of vanity
the paucity of pride
the fire of ire
the desire of ages
the folly of sages
the silence of the grave
the death toll of the brave
the scarcity of levity
the wear of war
another soldier lost
the living count the cost
the flood of blood
wasted like mud
and if i could
and as i should
the war would cease today
death to death's cabaret
