Dilemma

Dilemma

A Poem by Darren Brown
"

"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." -Mahatma Gandhi My reaction to the atrocities of the Bosnian War depicted in The Land of Milk and Honey, realising my reaction was the dilemma of war

"
Saw a guerrilla drop a newborn
from the top of a twenty-story building.
Made me want to drive my thumbs into his temples
until I cracked and shattered his shell.
