Ron Rowland’s “Wars Not Of Their Making – Navigating This Thing We Call Life”

#Haikai Happenings #2: Ron Rowland’s latest #Quadrille / #haibun for my current Haikai Challenge!

Our boys were sent to foreign lands
to fight wars not of their making
Many never came back home
their mothers’ hearts still aching

In battlefields they morphed into men
their innocence now squandered
Forever altered when they returned
because they went over yonder

——

innocence squandered
by wars not of their making
their rainbows vanquished
