This is Just to Say

I have loved
the hearts
that were in
the enemy

and which
you were probably
saving
for war

Forgive me
they were kind
so human
and so naive

This was inspired by William Carlos Williams. It is almost a parody poem; war and fighting and having conflicting views also inspired me. What if a soldier agreed with the enemy?
