Demos, or Demon? Difference? We worship
The first, but not the second; since we are
Supposed to worship none but Him, they are
The same: behold! The month of February,
The briefest, screams its headlines, warning us
Against idolatry -- and human sacrifice -
As we give up our young to the dead, to fiend
That has the power to kill, but not to save.
"But they are only other people's sons,"
Say many; "so why should I care?" We should
Care, for we were their killers, when we voted,
When we supported parties that used them,
When we bent down before the Demon, Demos:
When parents of the dead proclaimed "They were your sons".
