Politicians
will tell
you
how many years
the
war has been
going
on.
Count
the headstones
in
National Cemeteries,
the
ones where flags
are
planted on
Memorial
Day.
Everyone
has heard
about
someone’s
son
or daughter
who
was lost.
Ask
the generals
and
they will say
heroes
were made
and
medals
were
issued.
It
will soon be
springtime
again,
and
according to the
seasons,
summer
is
certain to follow.
There
will be
empty
lawn chairs
at
sundown, and
as
night settles in,
crickets
chirping
in
the backyard.
