I will not attribute honor

 to the bloodiest of games 

to cold, condoned killings

 faceless murders without blame.

 War is to the green-clad

 a state-sanctioned game

 I will not call that thing honor 

for which good men should feel shame.

War Honor
I will not attribute honor

 to the bloodiest of games 

to cold, condoned killings

 faceless murders without blame.

 War is to the green-clad

 a state-sanctioned game

 I will not call that thing honor 

for which good men should feel shame.
