                                                   You
*                                               can ****
                                           your own men
                                            in friendly fire
                         And toss their bodies on a funeral pyre
                            Or bury them in sand if you desire  
                                    Wrapped in barbed wire
                                              dust  to dust
                                                still man
                                                  You.
‘You’ was ‘Very Highly Commended’ in the Tetractys section.
It was first published in Yellow Moon Issue 17, Winter 2005.
