Century of Wars

lies a hundred wars for God
    without years doesn’t heat us up
    peace on the screen ... cold guide

    sign wall steps cycle
    Berlin wars in the new
    Bonn fights next moon dance ...!

    beliefs signs things
    right of goodness
    gauche acronyms and ruins

    it was down everything
    SS center was dead
    everything ... has its finis

    german pumps  hate already
    USSR  were cold war
    napalm vietnam afternoon

    save America alive
    what news BBC have
    can CIA FBI signal
    century-ending conflicts
    at last! ?
