Love and War

16 3 2
                                    

When they said said that,
"All is fair in love and war"
They meant
"All is excusable
In love and war"
But how do you tell that
To a lover who has
Only known abuse?
And to the mother
Who's son is still missing?

Perhaps,
All is not excusable in love
Nor in war
