Poetry

Soldier
  Where is the war you are running off to fight ?

  Soldier
  Who's ideology are you fighting for ?

  Soldier
  What will be your spoils of war ?

  Will it be obtaining earthly power
  and possessions ?

   Will it be the wounded you have rescued
   from the battle field of souls ?

   Soldier
   The war is won in Heaven
   How will you win it on the earth ?

   Soldier
   Will you fight to win
   Or will you become another casualty of war ?
