Poem Title:
Poem
Financiers feel superior to farmers and pundits have it over poets. All to the good because if you think America's doing just fine, don't skip to the poetry reviews. Our enemies are barbarous, our allies duplicitous but our smart bombs are smart - that's how they found you. Dad said all wars are resource wars. Follow the money. The world needs more order, nothing less than Nazis, never may the anarchic man's thoughts be my thoughts, each shove sends a ping, shields urge on shields, helmets helmets, we can be the reigning kings between the last empire and the next or implement a vision of collective deliberation and binding agreements. Can China's navy be harnessed to ensure free passage through the South China Sea? We'll see how things work out in the next generation. In the meantime should I read Henry Kissinger's meditations? He who thinks poetry's effete probably considers Darwin a geek and Einstein a postal clerk. Containment means leaving space for the passionate and zealous to face themselves and giving them missiles that don't work. Slowing everyone down until one thing's done well - governance or sustenance or brotherhood. When violence comes to the neighborhood the hierarchy will hold or fold, it is then the peace work proves relevant. Failing to achieve understanding, we're searching outer space for an entity to unite us as humanity. That person, or city, is consciousness. By that what is meant. Sitting still and thinking deeply on the relation of anger to coercion, systems for correcting the decisions of earlier presidents. We're required to report incidents of depression to a doctor because you're a valued member of of our community or so insignificant no one notices or cares. How necessary the interface of war and poetry!
