He Lives to Fight Another Day

Why must you return to her?
    Does she sing with Siren’s lure?
Or hold for you some unknown cure
    To heal your life, lived impure?

Why, my father, do you run
        And leave your wife and your son?
Or are you searching for someone,
        To mend you mind, come undone?

And must I too now go among,
  The savaged body and drowning lung?
Must I too now go so young,
  ​To meet the dead and wailing tongue?

And here I fight the rich man’s blunder,
                And see the sky torn asunder.
As corpses creep I can’t help but wonder,
                When will I be sent down under?

In this way we always turn
​As bodies rot beneath the fern,
To feel her sting and biting burn.
​What War does teach, can we not learn?

Tell me why we turn this way.
​To fight the beast and evil slay?
And how in peace can wise men say,
​He lives to fight another day.

or use [] two brackets with a / inside them you can use [][][][] with 4 / backslashes or any number you wish.
