I find it not right
nor sustainably left,
snapped the poet,
that sainted soldiers claimed healthy transitions 
toward divinely rapturous peace
to promote principles of death

I sat on a bench, reading football fanzine;
Beside me, man with a craggy face
Burst in paroxysm of rage;
Cute little boy, breaks the toy!

Unreasoning sound, wafted through the air;
