Sydney Love - War

in the wake of a lost solider
in the grief of a sorowed widow
in the austerity of torture
we ask ouselves, is war the answer.

in the tears of the mourners.
in the cries of a shattered family.
in the sorrow of our country
we ask ourselves, is war the answer.

in the pain of the injured
in the horrific precedent for our youth
in the hopelessness of our future
we ask ourselves, is war the answer

Sydney Love
