The living cannot see war.
Only the dead can see war.
The living see only the reflection of war's shadow
even among the mayhem of ruined bodies, lives and countries,
seeing only intimations of war and feeling only an estimation of regret.
Only the dead see and feel war firsthand
and die with envy of those who have not yet..
The same can be said of life.
