they took neither side
just happened to be in the way
with no wrong or right
it wasn’t their fight
but sadly got caught in the fray
no caskets, no flags,
and no body bags
no headstones to engrave
no rites, no prayers
no kin, no heirs
just buried in one mass grave
round after round
mortars pounding the ground
‘til everything rattles and shakes
through deceit and lies
each side denies
that their men made any mistakes
there will be some loss
that’s par for the course
is all that the leaders can say
but in the end
they will all meet again
perhaps on atonement day
great ending,
ReplyDeletelife does go on cycles, cheers.
