It’s Not Your War (poem)

By: Marc McMahon
My war is different than your war
You may never understand
Many say you dont care to
My war can’t be won
My enemy can not be defeated
Only put under arrest
Primitively held at bay
By the power of a choice
My war has no boundaries
No borders and no walls
No battlefield map or
Enemy GPS cooridinates
My war is not your war
In my war
To secure victory
One must first embrace defeat!
