War

Refuse the inoperable
Don't keep the unstoppable
Red X's mark the wise
And report their demise

Strong men no longer move
Crushed by God's cruel hooves
The meat grinder keeps spinning
No one knows who is winning

Patriots die for their country
Rebels turn Patriots into debris
Neither side can understand
What the other side demands

Everyone claims that war is Hell
If only it were Heaven, everything would seem well
