Al Fin� country as flag
When the last man standing
Lies down...
Will God stir the pot again
And have another round?
When the last man
Standing lies down...
Will he sleep
To the distant volley sounds
Of war... and yet another round...?

I think not

For God did not create war
It is man's invention
Now and before
God will vindicate the soldier
And say perhaps...
Some may learn when they are older
Children need to be lead
After all is done and said...

Free choice often leads to dead

About Author... Faye Sizemore makes her home in the beautiful foothills of South Carolina with Grant, the love of her life, as well as three dogs, two cats, two parakeets and four nanny goats. Grant is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the US Marines in 1968-69 and is, of course, Faye's muse. Faye is deeply interested in Veterans' Affairs and Veterans' Causes. She is very proud of Grant and her poetry is an off-shoot of that pride.
