An Easter Poem


WHEN A GOOD MAN GOES TO WAR


Demons run when a good man goes to war,

Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war.

Friendship dies and true love lies,

Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war.

Demons run but count the cost,

The battle’s won but the child is lost,

The fight goes on but what’s it for when a good man goes to war.

Now rise the sun, now dawn the day!

When good men run and women stay.

When battle’s done and nothing’s won

It’s a woman’s work to say,

"Well then, soldier, how goes the day?"



Steven Moffat
