Then

Boot to sand, step, step
Toe to dust, gravel upswept
Heel to toe, march, march
War up close, whites of eyes wild
In name of Father, Son, Child

Now

Hand to stick, click, click
Mind in air born strategy
Radar screen zooms in
Thousand of miles, eyes still wild
In name of Father, Son, Child

Yes, Karilea, war reaches much farther now than then, doesn't it? So many more people are hurt or killed.

Everything yet nothing changes, then to now.
I am tired of this death march, and wish to fly away to another lair.

Karilea--So very true, so well said, so swept with tears any path to war.
