Poem: War Itself

1 

War itself often
Becomes more important

Than the reasons
For which the war is fought.

2
At war’s end,
The win goes to those who lost least.

3

The dead come back
To haunt the men of war.

Spooks attach themselves
To the victors like a conjoined twin.

4
What happened
To the Armies Of The Night

Tilting against power
To end a war?
