Double Edge of the Sword
The pen
not so mighty perhaps
as men choose swords --
words not so powerful
enough, as men restrict
their dialogues to: Ready!
Aim! Fire!~ and mourning...
Global warming...tectonic plates…
asteroids from a-far, hold no candle
to man’s temperament~ when war-fully
lit…
temples and churches they fill
God only in their chanting….
