Conscription



Let all the war hawks

And war hungry

World leaders


Be conscripted 

To stand on the front lines


To satisfy their souls

Thirst for war


In straight 

Regimental lines


As the world

Hears their whines

Would the thirst for war have a different narrative, if those advocating for it, served on the front lines?
