Seeking the right answers
to all the wrong questions
The knife edge resharpens
the danger rehoned
Seeking the right answers
for all the wrong reasons
The rumors refester
—all truth unatoned
(Dreamsleep: December, 2022)
Humanity is destined
for being at war
Attacking tomorrow,
its fate still unsure
New conflict resharpens
the dullest of blades
Where written in blood
—new history is made
(Valley Forge: November, 2020)
