Hollow Victories
Why must diverse native cultures clash
Like titans in the arenas of yesteryear,
Lessons of the past centuries unlearned
While unthinkable horrors, senseless wars,
Continue unabated to devastate the weak
While the strong greedily abscond proudly,
Claiming a hollow victory at the expense
Of humanity and her promise of plenty.
