"War Is Hell!" (by Joe DiMino)

 

"War is hell!"

Talk of understatement--

at least in hell

the choice is always easy

from a list of countless evils

and to be wrong is correct....

 

But war is complicated--

just to protect our sanity

we look for good

where there isn't any,

and try to perform

a ray of light

with a cast cloaked in darkness

and all their props

weeping blood--

 

What a buffet

for sanctimonious, bloated, critics

and opportunist politicians....
