Cargo
In the still of the night
All fireworks
Sent towards the stars
Like exploding spaceships
Have long fizzled out
Wooden shuttle sticks
Fallen down, back to Earth
Their cargoes delivered
Into the momentarily
Enlightened night
Then silence
As the world
Ventures into another new year
Living in fear
Of rockets
Carrying a more lethal cargo

This is a scary one.
I remember air raid drills in grade school and being sent home at lunch time during the Cuban missile crisis.

We do like a war. And war is merely business. And business hasn't been this good for awhile.
Liked your piece. Excellent,
