Those things we should despise (collaboration with Gyspy Red)
Politicians all play a head game
Sending young ones as if an ordinary cost
Making up reasons detente is never the aim
As if unimportant the price of the loss
We do not have a care for civilian damage
To win is the all important goal
Motivation of the adversary a camouflage
In killing, there is always a violent toll
That is not say might is never needed
rather we have that, even in a win.
We should admit failure both sides conceded
To find a place where the peace should begin
Agglomerations parade around, warlords of weapons,
A colossal industry grown all over the world
I look to those in nonviolent conflict resolutions
to correct this destructive chokehold.
