Partial Truths
A partial
truth when forcefully stated,
By some
self-promoted man of destiny,
On his
nation’s behalf, can seem to be
A claim he
and his people are fated,
Through some
divine or secular right,
To seize
land others presently hold,
With many a
fanciful fable told
Justifying
loosing merciless might:
Yet another
slaughter set in motion.
While those
who publicly claim moral qualms
Eagerly
promote their supply of arms
As necessary
for peace promotion.
As if an
initial atrocity
Redeems acts
of bloody reciprocity.
D. A.
