War

I will not mention names

What good would that do

Anyway

What is done     is done

Children

So many

If I could write down

Their names

In memoriam

Their names would fill

The pages

Of a giant encyclopedia

The one country so brutally

Attacked

Has the right to defend

Itself

Yet

When does defense become

Attack

Desist     desist

Allow those who are

Left

On either side

Live in peace

Yes     yes

Let those left

Live in peace
