War

War

War. More War. Big Business

War.

and who will fight these wars

sons and daughters

who will die or be maimed or

maybe just

have post traumatic stress

disorder

War is always ugly.

always

I can't figure out how it is

possible that we create all

the beautiful things

see nature roar

watch children grow

and believe war fits in this

picture

Is it so hard to imagine another

way to resolve

conflict and make money

Sometimes I think I must be on

the wrong

planet

when did we get it so wrong and

decide to

let the military dictate

a mess

but don't worry because we

don't

have to see it

It is hidden, not for public

viewing

but we pay,

we all pay.

It's a sad day.
