flowers all gone where?
children die in old men's wars.
spring interrupted.

Warmongers gum gruel
ground from grain grown in fields wet
with kids' fertile blood.

What insane deity
makes windup toys of death from
flowers yet unblown?

"Be a bomb for me!"
Lunacy disencarnate
Urges fragile lives.

"Better kill them first!"
Creates a fools' contest which
Both sides cannot win.

In what balance does
Killing twenty of my foe
Make _my_ death _my_ win?

"Go bravely warrior!"
Well, maybe not. Let the war
Fade, while I stay home.

Dying of old age
Presupposes not dying
While still green and young.

From what wombs sent forth,
By what dams, babes to splatter
Self and yon dams' get?

Mad men or mad gods?
Which hold thinking child to be
Mere "expendable"?

A bakers' dozen,
In a sane world, would suffice.
But here? Foolish hope.

Another fan
Of blood and slaughter
Writes to tell me
That I ought'ter
Let the dead
Die unlamented
Stacks of corpses
In piles tented.

Me? I figure
Why stay mute,
As bombs explode,
And rifles shoot?
Peace to start
Must find a place
Within _each_ heart
War to erase.

Mine's not busy,
Sits here fertile,
Should I withdraw
Just like a turtle?
Or let the seed,
At least be planted,
Lest it lie barran
And unlamented?
