You do not know your enemy;
For the flesh you see
bleed just like thee.
Tears swell and fall
when they lose those
they love
those whom
they would hold close;
But then when your
bombs explode
shrapnel goes
in their throats
in their arms
and in their eyes
clouding and killing
their consciousness,
our enemy buries this
body boiled in
rage and chaos
setting the stage
to make them hate us.
How can you blame them?
