Notes About The Poem

Without Within



"Without Within"

It just takes one over-zealous do-gooder 
to set the dominos of destruction on a roll
and the war begins 

without within
within without

heaven was trampled that day
the kangaroo court had its way 
and all dreams were blugeoned to death

heads rolled soaked in blood and revenge
each day the impermanence glitched
to return to poetic permanence

This is how the war begins

within without
without within
