Dawn

And just before
A crimson glow
Begins to fill
The Eastern sky

A red flare
Into the air
A whistle blows
Amid cannon fire

And young men
For lovers mothers
And Fatherland
Armed and uniformed
In battle gray

Get up and out
Of scars in earth

And go off to die

A human poetry often hidden
by rhyme and meter free of blank
reasons,

enjoyed the soul in the lines,

Food for thought.

Even though the consequence of war is known to everyone still men go on and on.

And it looks as though it will always be that way.
