Notes About The Poem

A 9/11 FOOD FOR THOUGHT FLASHBACK  

     (Apropos Of A Tearing Tanka Flow)

 

Insuring our health,

We destroy all rottenness:

Why do we keep war?!

Wars can not be nourishing;

They’re all about destroying:-

Wars contradict peace.

Peace is the absence of war;

Not its intention:-  

Bombing murder tares down life,

Rather than building it up:-

We didn’t celebrate 

9/11; we mourned it—

With sad, flowing tears:

Wars are about hell’s graveyards;

Not those of God’s ascensions:-
