PROMPT # 219

Include the sentence somewhere in your piece.

“War is at the doorstep. What do you expect me to do?”

WAR

War is at the doorsteps.

So?

What do you expect me to do?

Take sides or

take out my armor and sword

and plunge into the war.

What if I don’t want to fight?

For warmongers don’t fight themselves.

They make us fight in the name of patriotism.

We have no choice but to follow.

Who benefits from war except for the armament manufacturers.

But,

who pays the price, who loses

except

mothers, wives, and children

waitingfor their beloved ones.
