    Nullus Jus In Bello

    Distracted and brooding on the state of our life
    Where are you my love, where the hell have I gone?
    I see your face in my dreams every night,
    yet awake alone before too long
    I'm so tired all day, and so restless at night
    I miss feeling the other half of my heart beating within your breast
    I've become an unwilling martyr in this pointless plight
    I need to feel your head on my chest, the warmth of your breath
    My soul is in tatters beating a ragged, hollow drum
    I beg for a piece of you, a morsel, a crumb
    Those that hear my cries are blind, deaf, and dumb
    And we're still alone, Nullus Jus In Bello
    Leaving a feast for the crows in it's wake
    I struggle to believe this war machine could be real
    filling us with lies, telling us for our families sake's
    but my family IS at stake, and I can barely feel
    My soul is in tatters. Beating a ragged, hollow drum
    I beg for a piece of you, a morsel, a crumb
    Those that hear my cries are willingly blind, deaf, and dumb
    And we're still alone, Nullus Jus In Bello
    Not for soldiers, not for wives
    NULLUS JUS IN BELLO
    Not for the orphans that cry
    NULLUS JUS IN BELLO
    Not for the countless, innocent, stolen lives
    NULLUS JUS IN BELLO
    Not for the widow screaming, WHY?
    NULLUS JUS IN BELLO
    except for the leaders that lie
    anarchy before slavery, suicide before genocide
    I will NOT kill anymore, I'd rather die
    NULLUS JUS IN BELLO,
    Unicus Compendium arr Nex Necis

    Alot of feeling, I wish I knew what "Nullus Jus in Bello" meant but even not knowing I feel your turmoil, the conflict, no one can know what it is like to be in your shoes unless they are in them...we cannot judge, only on your poem and your passion..

    It's latin for "No Justice In War" Hope that helps

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
