To The Shedders Of Young Blood For Political Or Military Gain
[inspired by Cynan's poem, "Hwiangerddi"]
Lloyd-George, Clemenceau, Wilson and Orlando,
your deliberate and tightly allied choice
of masses of death over life resulted in the deaths
of many coldly drafted, beautiful, adolescent boys:
boys who ha never, before then, put
a live cartridge into a manufactured gun;
boys who had walked through wildflower meadows barefoot,
shirtless in their distressed jeans, beneath the summer sun.
