Even Victory In War

Even victory in war does not come without a huge cost
When on the winning side many lives too are lost
And people are dying in war zones every day
The human cost of war is a huge price to pay
The downside to war is death, suffering and pain
And though that war does create heroes as a truism remain
The war winners are left to consider are their losses outweighed by their gain
But despite war's harsh lessons wars will be fought again
For love of flag of Country so many have died
Their price to pay for nationalistic and patriotic pride
But the fact of the matter and fact never lie
Is that those who gain most from war in war never die.
