In Their Place

gramann001

Old send the young to fight so

they can keep their power

Rich send the poor to fight so

they can keep their gold

Cowards send the brave to fight so 

they can keep their towers

Wicked send the righteous to fight so

they can keep their vice

Liars send the honest to fight so

they can keep their myths

Who will they send in their stead

when none have returned?
