Demons run when a good man goes to war.
I heard this poem earlier today and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Imagine the conviction it must take for a good man to go to war.
Demons run when a good man goes to war.
Night will fall and drown the sun, When a good man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies,
Night will fall and the dark will rise, When a good man goes to war.
Demons run but count the cost.
The battle’s won, but the child is lost.

It is a good poem. Reminds me for some reason
of EPIGRAPH ON A TYRANT by WH Auden:
Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
He knew human folly like the back of his hand,
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.
