Can One Really Prepare for War?

by

Mango Tree

The notice arrives
Official government business
A nationalistic calling
To serve, as others before
Go to training, brief
It never prepares one
For much, possibly
A way to die on the battlefield
or what it takes to come back
empty, shattered, broken.

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Simple Math
