A different sort of war

This is not Ukraine, the Yemen, World War Three
but nonetheless millions fighting for their lives.
Not really some conventional struggle to be free
but a war of attrition fought by husbands and wives.
No advances, just rearguard action to retain territory
with forces continually degraded by the enemy.
Eventual defeat is certain; useless to rage.
This is the war that no-one wins - old age.
