Who wins in war? Who gains from the spoils? Who stuffs their pockets with the gold and silver from the war chests?

Not the man or woman who saw the blood. Not the individual who will hear the screams throbbing in his ears until all finally quiets. Not the person who had to carry mangled and disfigured corpses.

No.

That man. That woman. Recieves only desolation.
