Silence can become betrayal,
The final nail.
He remains loyal
To principles
Long since sailed;
Not conventional
But rock steady
In conviction.
Always ready,
Often on the boil
Simmering now.
A glimmer of hope
Now stale
Looking for release
The swords of soldiers,
The DMZ.
Not relevant anyhow
Can you cope?
I am not sure,
Let this cease
This is crazy.
But the elephant in the room
Is why?
The insanity
Of war
Will make
You cry.
