The Finer Truth??

Some may protest war?.
But who are they to say???
They disagree from the sidelines?..
Not really recognizing an essential price being paid?..

For there will always be disagreements?..
And though world peace is a dream?.
And although lives are lost?.
More are really redeemed?.

In the midst of death?..
Freedoms are preserved?.
A way of life reclaimed?..
No just rights to differ??.

Sanctioned basic rights?..
Obtained through the death of few?.
I am not attempting to derogate an eternal sacrifice?.
That is only you?..
