Notes About The Poem

 

A WAR-WORN FLASHBACK

 

As quiet

As it’s kept,

Wars continue

To win, 

As peace 

Likewise,

Continue

To lose:-

In war

Only death

Wins:

Dying peace

Loosing 

As parentless

Children

Daily feed

Death—

Satisfying war’s 

Wealth-Inspired hunger:-

Yet, we seem to

Continue to be

As unconcerned 

As are the fires

Burning in hell:-

A WAR-WORN FLASHBACK

As quiet
As it’s kept,
Wars continue
To win, 
As peace 
Likewise,
Continue
To lose:-
In war
Only death
Wins:
Dying peace
Loosing 
As parentless
Children
Daily feed
Death—
Satisfying war’s 
Wealth-Inspired hunger:-
Yet, we seem to
Continue to be
As unconcerned 
As are the fires
Burning in hell:-
