  6. GLORY • There are old menWho like to wage war.It’s such a fascinating pastime –Reminds them of their glory days,Real or imagined.But, have you noticed How the glory has gone out of war?The heroes of ThermopylaeOf the Song of Roland…Of Gettysburg…Of Bastogne…Are no more.The patina of romanticismHas worn through,Revealing what war has always been –Cruel, self-centered and futile,And, worst of all – wasteful. Wasteful of lives of grace…Wasteful of the young’s potentialWhen only bred for cannon fodder…Wasteful of the earth’s treasure. War is a crimeAgainst the order of Creation.A perversion of higher consciousness -A monumental stupidity.So, old men –Give up your dreamsOf reflected glory,Of manhood revisited.What manhood you hadYou have lostBy sending the innocent youngTo do it for you.
