Note: (That Wars can be won is a lie....The truth is they can only be lost)

I had you in my crosshairs

and I allowed you to negotiate

an escape for yourself

as a direct result of my compassion

in dereliction of my duty

my brothers in arms

lie bleeding in your land

from wounds inflicted

by your many lies

Now we all must die

(c) 2007 Ted Sheridan

you kill a deer after it stops drinking water... an enemy soldier you kill before he prevents you from getting... a drink of water.
