war children

during war, the children
knowing from the adults
that there is one, play
at war. they hardly know
what it means, but it's
fun and keeps them
busy throughout the days.
and as the war goes on,
and so many don't return,
the young ones grow
older, waiting, and knowing
that one day, as always,
they too will have a turn.
