Analysis of WAR
When men are soon gone,
for sake of what that men wage war.
When history tells of the ill, he's done,
no nobler his flag for one man's ego to score.
I ponder,
of so much death and mayhem to deplore.
When men are soon gone,
for sake of what that men wage war.

About this poem
Of each man's insane requirement to tool his flag in order to massacre the many innocent, and of other men who refuse to stop this pendulum of perpetual madness from swinging.
