fighting for breath, with voices a mere whisper
when the world pretends to divide itself
never to determine who’s right – only who’s left
where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
a place in which no soldier ever really survives
yet truth is the first casualty
when only the dead see the end
inevitable
civil?
complete with industrialized slaughter,
fear,
and appalling
human
suffering
