War

War

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey

In the cuneiform-ed  state
After mime
The weight of words
Was lessened by
Things not heard
But by things seen
So in time, mime
Was replaced by
Picturesque rhymes
Communication
Was enhanced 
Moving from a
Grunt and a glance
As it advanced
It gave ideas a chance
To grow and be 
Exchanged
But in a different
Exchange
Hands became 
Tired and sore
Creative weapons
Changed to 
Tools of war
As battle lines
Are drawn in
The sand and 
In the mind
Mime over time
Started learning the
Language of
War


Now you and I are
In our primitive state
We still communicate
Like that
Our expressions
Form like cuneiform 
As we resort back
To those primitive states
The way we now 
Communicate

SEE

I was not part of 
The conversation
 As the equation
Was only divisible
By one, that means
You
Not me which makes
Everything to be
Unequally
Like Pi but not I
In the affirmative
But we are in 
The negative
I was never
The subject
So conjugation
And being a
Verb and how
Things are heard
Never appealed
To you, which 
Made me feel
Like nothing
Except
To do what 
I know best
Cover my chest
Draw a line
In the sand
And understand
That there will 
Be no talking
Any more
As we resort
Back to our
Primitiveness 
Speaking
The language
of
WAR
