THE WISDOM AND IGNORANCE OF WAR

Folder: 
JOURNAL #29

war is but......

rage at the hands of poor punctuation

inside a country of narrow minded paragraphs

all manners of recourse

just inadequate band aids

for deep wounds in far off republics

eye loop lessons forged from past mistakes

on display in the hindsight wisdom of meticulous

history books

when reality has proven that its our own humanity

that saves us

joining the streaming colors of the collective

enchanted

that separates man from his own blood

therapy for

the best awful self

societies will allow

an affair in the street

with (whether it be)

machine guns or pens

in hand

modern society will forever be asleep

at bitter table after bitter table

of such brutal contradictions

and governmental demands

as those of its own people are placed under

yet when one stands himself apart from the

rest of the cut

that is when the original good of one's self

intentions

demoralizes entire worlds

one example stands shadowed in the disgust of

many hearts and minds

with more to come

yet even born

one word tells the entire horrificly

true story

Hitler!
