Four Line Fiction — The Casualties of War

Fandango

The despots or the generals who decide to make war
Are not the ones who pay the price for that decision
It’s the innocents who are the casualties who pay the price
It’s the innocents who lose the battle no matter who wins the war.

    Indeed that is so true. Even those who win the war have to deal with the outfall of it for a long time.

    I’m finding it difficult to calm my rising hatred of Israel and all those who support it….

    The generals and rulers don’t care about the innocents, they are just pawns to move and destroy in their game of war… only thing is it’s LIFE for the innocents. Great write, Fandango!
