    I Went To War

    I went to war, not of my own choice. I put my life on the line for my country, but my country did not put their life on the line for me. This war is a cruel and unjust war; they will not let me win.
    I went to war, I even saw women and children killed, I saw young men, like myself, died for no reasons, and I saw grown men out of fear, frustration cry and weep over those who died.
    Today, I am still at war; I see in the eyes of those who served, I see their pain, the suffering and their anger. I know how they feel, I’ve been there, and I am still living you see in a war I cannot win.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
