Notes About The Poem

APROPOS OF LIFE, DEATH, WAR, AND PEACE

(A 2-4-2 SEXTET)

Peace...no,
bombs exploding;
it's war!

The wars
fought to get peace,
did not:-

Pooped bombs
swell graves' bellies;
death farts:-

The kids
feed wars each day;
death pleased:-

In wars,
only death wins;
peace can't:-

Love peace,
wars are evil;
crave life:-
