Peace Pilgrim

WAR On the scarred battlefield, when they forced me to go I met a man that they said was my foe- And I ran him through with my blade! When I pulled it out and his blood gushed forth, I was suddenly filled with a racking remorse - "I have killed a man!" I said. He was slim and youthful and frightened like me, And not a fiend as they said he would be - "They sent me to kill you", he sighed. "By God! I wish you had done so!" I swore. "Why, I don't even know what I'm fighting for!" "Nor I," he breathed, and died.
