lunatic fringe & blind eyes
scores of countries
are currently at war
can you name them
can you name them all
insurgencies & civil
drug & trade
so many wars in so little time
death & destruction
urban cities or rural countryside
children & women
men & animals
mass murdered by war
recycled like raw material
leaders become illegitimate
in a matter of minutes
pushing buttons
calling on their machines
to massacre before our very eyes
this the twenty-first century
march two thousand twenty-two

21st or 12th? It seems we have learned nothing but how to slaughter on a grander scale.
Isn’t that the truth, Chris. Thanks for commenting on this one.
