Truth and War

Swords and Shields was war up close and personal:
You see the eyes of a person as he dies
Under the blows of your sword;
No distancing death from your view.
You do what you got to do;
It is either he or you.
And now we think less grimly of war,
Carried out at distances remote
Where a missile is sent beyond the view
Of those who bomb their enemy.
But what shall be the remedy?
Bring back hand-to-hand combat?
Or make Truth and Peace a priority.
Ah, but true peace comes only when
Truth is placed at the fore;
Otherwise you play the whore.
