Forget the billions,
There’s more where that came from.
Think just upon the Seventeen,
And how numb we have become.
Still, the war drones on,
Video-gamed in living rooms.
And the carnage that still looms.
While we muddle through,
Forgetting why we started,
And the lesson they’ve imparted:
Honor’s not a pose,
Nor a pretense of “lethality.”
And begin to face reality.
