I wrote this a couple years ago:
Men Are Only Good When They Die From War
by: Roger Harkness
Men have hands
But cannot touch
Arms
But cannot hold
Hearts
But cannot feel
For this
They are bad
Men are only good
When they die
From War
For this reason
No boy will ever strive to be a passionate man
Rather
Boys
Play war
