Operation Eternal Darkness
Dear commander of carnage,
My family has lived in the same village
For at least five centuries
I know where all my ancestors are buried
I know where I will be buried
Pity the soldiers you beguiled
Breaking under your command
Men who truly defend their land
Do not commit suicide
Pity the uprooted memory
No amount of blood can repair
Pity the worship of brutality
Pity your boys’ fear and despair
