Oh my sister why do you cry?
Why do you weep
When everyone must surely die?
Why do your tears
Flood the plains?
Is it the sorrow of stolen youth,
The unnecessary grief of every nameless face?
Or is it the injustice and cruelty of the watching world
As you lay stricken
Besides your brother's corpse?
Have you lost your life,
Your faith in good
And the memory of a smile?
Why do you ask for answers that can't be found,
That don't exist?
Do you know the war won't end?
You have no hope but for the mercy
Of the Lord to whom your prayers you send.
-S.
