Cycle of Belligerence
Sucker punch
shattering crystal-brittle
Relations:
gathering in a dance field
Where
harvesters of the young reap their yield.
So do
belligerent nations whittle
Each other
away, with atrocity
For
atrocity, all claiming that theirs’
Is an
appropriate response, declare
Themselves
graced by God’s partiality.
To what do
the unnumbered dead amount?
Meanwhile
earthly powers lament, then resort
To lending
unconditional support
And
munitions. Who’ll be called to account?
Victims
become perpetrators and then
Victims
before perpetrators again…
D. A.
