  5. War is not By: Sarah Bruno War is not a delicate procedure—it is not the cold silverof a stainless steel tray,in an operating room,upon which a scalpelwaits, in anticipation.There are no kind war godswho euthanize the troopsbefore lovingly cutting them opento expose their red flesh,before pushing bullets,like buttons, into theirhearts and stomachs.Death is not a concerned motherwho puts her children to sleepwith powerful sedativesbefore she hacks off their limbswith sanitized blades,leaving them to waketo the real nightmare.There are no sweet angelswho sing to the glory of Godwhile heavenly firereigns down from the sky,burning everythingin a sulfuric kiss.Poets do not strategizeand scatter duston the battlefields,to make it seem as thougha battle has been there.We come afterand we speak truth.
