Going Home

To all who have been at war
Sides don't matter in this
No matter who you fought for
You're all heroes to the end
You're all tired of fighting
Tired of marching
Walking endlessly in the night
Being afraid of the dark
Not knowing when or if
All of you nearly went insane
Some actually did
Many more will never come back
And most of all you don't
Even know why the person shooting at
Is supposed to be your enemy
Then someone surrendered
And none of you could hear
Those precious words soon enough
The war's over, time to go home

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.
