TOUCHING ELEGY

 

A touching elegy

for a slain warrior

or some such shit

that will sound profound

 

and the rhyme

will reverberate on time

should we listen

and carefully read

all the symbols

 

and we’re just

playing

with the numbers

for the hell of it

 

suddenly Nietzsche’s nihilism

seems more appealing

but no amount of rationalizing

can ever forgive Hitler

It’s just a state of mind

I find myself traversing
