Another Peace Haiku? This time from Basho and not a JHS student. This one makes me think of Thomas Peabody's War Song, ruins跡 remain.
> The eagles and the ravens
We glutted with our foemen;
The heroes and the cravens,
The spearmen and the bowmen.

> We brought away from battle,
And much their land bemoaned them
