Those men did not want to kill
or should I say, those boys,
they were little,
they were young,
they were full of life and joy,
until you pronounced the war
and captured them by force
to fight, not to save their own
country, rather win over
others sovereign borders.
They didn’t even die on their lands
and some who by chance
survived in Christ’s name:
returned with blasted limbs,
hollow eye sockets,
hanging necks,
twisted livers, and
skin sketched with scars and
stones,
and you sent them back from camps
because you could not use them
anymore, not even to clean toilets
or to cook and serve their meat
for dinner.
