Reconstruction of a battle (Pic by Maxim Doronin) |
Men march forward
Under orders
Take position, aim and fire
Smoke cloud the field
Decades after war ended
“Reconstruction” they say
Re-enacting the war it is
War that killed millions
Remember
Reconstruction followed up
After that war
Of lives, property
Dreams
Time healed wounds
New generations born
Strangers to that war
Fortunately
It needs re-enactment
Lest they forget
War in whatever form
Should never be real
Under orders
Take position, aim and fire
Smoke cloud the field
Decades after war ended
“Reconstruction” they say
Re-enacting the war it is
War that killed millions
Remember
Reconstruction followed up
After that war
Of lives, property
Dreams
Time healed wounds
New generations born
Strangers to that war
Fortunately
It needs re-enactment
Lest they forget
War in whatever form
Should never be real
