Soldiers on both sides of war
Meet, eat, and celebrate
Not the end of conflict
But the calm of battle
Observing Peace on Earth
Showing Goodwill toward all men
Each sides bearing the scars
Of so many centuries of slaughter
It was time to grieve
Together they now stood
The last moment of peace
It was a time to believe
In the highest beliefs of our culture
Until returning to kill
Until the great powers insist
That good people everywhere
Lose their minds
And their lives
For reasons no one really understood
