The war is not between
One country and another
One group of countries
And other groups of countries.
The war is not about
Saving any culture
Or preserving any way of life.
It’s not about religion, either.
The war is not against
Them, or that, or those
Enemies, or monsters in the dark
Wars are against you and me
My brother and sister, both.
Your poem tells a terrible truth.... that is that all war is personal. There is another truth: all war is personal to every human.
