Anti (war) Lovers

No one hates war

more than the warrior.
This is a given.
This for sure.

So brave, so eager,
the lovers of war,
can’t wait to send kids
to some worthless shore.

Safe in their office,
the hawks, mostly men,
ship children to battle,
boldly, but then,

if they just once would yield,
witness one battlefield,
they’d think long and hard
before they did it again.

Send your own sons
to face enemy guns,
send your own daughters
to witness the slaughters.

Peace.

Out.
