And still soldiers are born
that die or escape from war
and wars go by and come back
because soldiers still are born
soldiers and wars
monotonous as drums
march in steady stride
until the end of the world.

Good stuff

Deep. I enjoyed this because of the soldier metaphor. Thank you for sharing, and congrats. :)

Very nice

Interesting observation. I wanted to be able to contradict you and suggest that we have to be taught this kind of violence against each other, but this made me think of The Lord of the Flies and any of the apocryphal movies that I've seen. Fight seems to be more encoded into our DNA than is flight or fidelity.

I will keep this one in a special place. You made the horrible become humdrum and back again. Very nice. Thanks.

Too true. God I hope the marching stops before we come to the end of the world.
