HellBent

(“Field of Dreams - Flanders 1917”, 2020, original oil)

HellBent

Rumors of war, hard-ons for war
Bad dreams and perverse fantasies 
Driving dirty old men forward into battle.

For at least someone to do 
And have done to them.

Just as a real peace is on the horizon 
The machines of war come to life
Preparing the ground for harvest
To supply the hawks and crows 
Their carnage.

(11/25/24)
