A poem by Hawkeye, the last day of the war…

Happily Ever After

Happily ever after

I think not

We'll never escape

This ugliness is here to stay

Burned onto our brains

Like the fire that tears apart this

Already torn country

Every time we close our eyes

We'll see the blood

The hate

The horror

The blood of innocence

Stains us through

As the visions of war

Invade our thoughts

The most private area of our minds

Will be violated

Does it every really end

Even if we've won

But did we win

Did anyone

With all the losses all have suffered

There is no winner

No one on top

So happily ever after

I think not

***The End***
