Two truths on the battlefield
Speak about the Truth.
Of you and me
They do not even ask.
One takes away,
The other will not let go,
And you and me
Death is devouring.

It proved not enough
To go as guests,
The encroachment poured out
Into bestial rages.

To possess what is another’s
And to hold one’s own
Became to kill with truth
And to survive with truth.
