Letter To a War Belligerent
I can apprehend your thirst for annihilation
Your appetite to proliferate terror
To gratify your alter ego
To guarantee your supremacy
To drop bombs on beings above suspicion
To burn their unique meager crops
To demolish their eggshell havens
To confiscate their few vendibles
To kill their licit long-planned dreams
To haunt their minds
To shred their long -conceived hopes
To chain their legs and ears reverberate
Yet if you should actually do
Point your extortionate,sophisticated weapons
To poverty,hunger,misery,illnesses,homelessness...
For remember one of your trailblazing armored cars
Could meet the needs of many wretched souls
Chase angst from their forlorn,woeful profiles.
