soldiers get high
on war.
it’s a rush to
kill a human
being.
for some it
gives great
pleasure to
torture
the so-called
enemy
& it’s a power
trip to push
some person’s
face into the
dust with your
boot.
what honor
adheres to the
bloodied head
of a dead
man?
what cries?
what curses?
what nightmares
are eternally locked
in the skull?
