An intimate look at war and sin

Stripped of clothes and dignity,
naked prisoners on TV
demonstrate how war disrobes
the mind of what it good.

What we see before our eyes
shouldn’t be a big surprise.
Those at war who seek revenge
will do most anything.

Add to that what lurks within
every person born in sin.
We are all quite capable
of doing shameful things.

Sin makes monsters of us all.
War’s a bloody beast-like brawl.
Thanks to both, what’s wrong seems right
and that’s the naked truth.
