Don’t
know why we all can’t simply get along
As a people, as a nation, as a realm.
Clearly, there are differences
Between what’s right and wrong.
No need to let discussion overwhelm.
We are children on a playground
Running, laughing, wild and free
Until some pretentious bully comes along
Demanding tribute’s lame intimidation,
Stirring trouble, insisting that we pirouette
To his self-serving song.
Yes, war changes everything.
Patience stretches just so far
Til common sense prevails.
Only one thing to be done
To pass these dire travails.
Must stand tall, must forestall this
Brutish cold incursion.
Force to force is all the tyrant
Understands in his perversion.
But even when we win, we fail
In losses beyond measure.
Because war changes everything.

Young
men die and loved ones weep
Protecting
the ideas they treasure…Because war changes everything.
