Waves of Men Thrown at Guns

 

Waves of men thrown at the guns

like water thrown on a fire;


the geography of their births

costing them their lives.


Who should “ask what you can do

for your country”?


Rock and clay recognize no borders;

sacrificing lives for a line on a map


is no service to a nation

but  makes a bonfire of its people.
