‘tis
(warfare: a ditty)
by Michael Camarata
The war, it fares
As well as war may fare
Though what is fair in war
I can not see
For war determines not
Who is in the right
Merely it determines
Who is stronger in their might
Nay, ’tis not fair, ’tis warfare
Though fair a war as ere a war may be
And should my life not fare
Well as this war may fare
I lived a life as fair a life may be
