In the muddy trenches,
they stare back at each other,
Two men, eye to eye
Beads of sweat break out ,
as each gazes into the soul of "the enemy".
Not so long ago, each had vowed
to die for God and country.
Willing to destroy the faceless foe.
But now they see that,
instead of some demon, their adversary is very much
a flesh and blood man.
That was then.
Now a civil servant
in a warehouse,
Receives a phone call on a bright red phone.
The code words said,
he turns a key, and presses a button.
He is only doing his job.
But somewhere, in a place he may never see,
People he will never meet,
feel the shadow of war
pass over them.
