To Win is to Lose

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL


To Win is To Lose

 

It does not matter what happens next

We know what follows down the road

The blood has just begun to flow

The death, the tears, the cries of woe

 

No one will remember why

No one really knows

We will think of it and sigh

As the need for vengeance grows

 

You cannot win this kind of war

Though victories are proclaimed

Each blow will wound you to the core

The aggressor always faces blame

 

A hundred years of misery

That’s what we have in store

A hundred years of payback

For starting this brutal war
