Analysis of War Belongs on Paper
Anette Sederquist 1949 (St. Louis)
War Belongs on Paper
Where the blood drawn is ink
And
The weight of the paper is equals on all sides
And
We see fairness plainly in the middle.
The outcome is seen without Death, or Suffering!

About this poem
I wrote this poem years ago during the Afghan War. As I was going through my writing it popped up; it seemed apropos to bring out of the dark and into the light.
