I Brought Sandwiches to War

The sun seems hotter now
Magnified by shame of fallen pride
That said victory was simple
And division not so deep

But dust speaks lessons
As I walk a long road home
Alone amidst the soldiers
Who share the chaotic sobriety of defeat

I brought sandwiches to war
As if death would stop for tea
And hate would yield to lunch
I brought sandwiches to war
