Our Gods of Bombs
Wars have no winners –
in fact, one can rightly argue,
that only losers begin them;
their outcomes, medals, a song,
a poem – a pat on the back if
hands are left,
a museum sculpture,
some simple stone-words
or opulent monument – lasting peace
a marble of man's delusions –
don't take my word for it...
just read our long running
history....visit our honored
dead, if not for nameless
angels, overrun by weeds –
we rebuild again and again, our
protagonists material makers and
their gods of bombs....
