Today's Looming War Poem by bobby beddoe

Today's Looming War

Military history has a v'ry ugly downside
B'yond all bounds when foes collide;
Killing non-combatants within battle's land
Is a fate most don't und'rstand.
Though collateral damage is lawful,
It doesn't m'ke the killing any less regretrful.
Now, when this pending NOKO fight is o'er,
Hope t'will b' more like SOKO - to th' core!
Let us not grieve for the little children,
Jesus has a place for them - it's writt'n,
But as for those parents? Who can tell?
No doubt a few will make th' trip as well!
Anyway, all we can do is hope an' pray
That th' end result of war go's our way!
