On Seeing "Dunkirk"

On Seeing “Dunkirk”
I have fought a battle or two of my own
What do I know of wars among nations!
I have skipped meals in life once or twice
What do I know of starving without rations!
I have bled often with cuts and scrapes
What do I know of limbs blown away!
I have been singed; by flames, by flying embers
What do I know of burning alive on high waters!
I have seen deaths, perhaps one or two
What do I know of killings en-masse!
I have wheeled disabled a few
What do I know of dying carried on broken backs!
I have sacrificed a little for others in need
What do I know of losing a child while helping others!
I have shed tears on my losses
What do I know of mothers crying oceans!
I have sunk in despair
What do I know of shell-shock!
I have toyed with killing myself
What do I know of Seppuku!
Nothing.
I am blissed in unknowing.
May you be so too.
If not,
Deferential, I stand before you
