humanitarian thought

and here is when it begins
or is it in the way, where it ends

in a war of attrition, with unclear lines
a side meets another, and they answer the call
heralds of destruction have beckoned
quickly incited emotion rising to new heights

no one wants to see the fields of glory below feet
that squelches profanely with rotten blood
here is where the battles have been fought
and this foolish war continues forevermore

do we possess the fortitude to ensure
that we aren’t another faceless casualty
can we awake from this dreamless sleep
and face the embittered morning after?
