When Words Stop

When words stop 
  
Words, words sunken Japanese warships
 in the bay of Palau where yellow jellyfish do not sting
and the US military plans to make a base on the moon
 and bomb the world to smithereens 
I`m watching too much TV and fed useless information 
I don`t need. Trying to make sense of this; 
war is the loser nature is peace.
Until the war that is cyclical destroy everything this
is needed to win Concord.
In the meantime, economic wars are manufacturing useless
inventions and underpaid garment workers
cheap food and obese people. This lasts till a new hot
battle begins and those who want peace are traitors because
they know there are no winners it is an illusion we have not
 been able to understand, like religion and Santa Claus. 
When the human voice disappears
when wolves no longer howl in the valley, then battered
Nature will slowly take over, and peace will reign.
