> .. the quintessence of all the war-songs.. the sum and substance of all the appetencies, tendencies, and consequences of #MilitaryGlory:
> .. We made an expedition;
We met a host, and quelled it;
We forced a strong position.
And killed the men who held it..
> ..Fierce warriors rushed to meet us;
We met them, and o'erthrew them;
They struggled hard to beat us;
But we conquered them, and slew them.https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/War_Song_of_Dinas_Vawr

Another Peace Haiku? This time from Basho and not a JHS student. This one makes me think of Thomas Peabody's War Song, ruins跡 remain.
> The eagles and the ravens
We glutted with our foemen;
The heroes and the cravens,
The spearmen and the bowmen.> We brought away from battle,
And much their land bemoaned them
