Cause


A man dies for his love of country

Across the field the man who killed him

Out of revenge for his brother

Felled by another man

Who then died for his family's military tradition

Killed by a fourth man

Out of desperation to survive

Who knows why he died

Most of my stuff is inspired by some of the very somber anti-war poems written after WW1. Others can be on a whim or based off fictional works.
