War is impartial.
It does not care who it kills
Or what it destroys.

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

Humanity stays
In division when saying,
It’s “them” or it’s “us.”

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

The Soldier’s Mother
Screamed when two Men came calling
With the dreaded news.

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

The exhausted Day
Collapsed into the Sunset
And fell right to sleep.

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

No one heard the knock
Of the unseen Visitor.
Death had come to call.

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.

In the midst of rage
His mother’s voice haunted him.
“Is it worth it son?”

:Susan-kay: Hanzlik.
