Bonus Poem: It Seems to Me I've Heard This Song Before

This Bonus Poem was written in response to a friend, a Vietnam vet who is also an active member of Veterans for Peace, who was lamenting, and asking prayers because of, the buildup of weaponry and rhetoric on both sides in Ukraine.


It Seems to Me I've Heard This Song Before


When noisy sabers rattle,

And no one wants to battle,

Except the people who would profit by,

Then folk of every nation,

Make prayer your firm foundation,

And gird your loins to bury battle cries!

 

S.L.B.
