How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?

-      Howard Zinn

 

Flesh and blood time bombs

Do you hear them ticking?

The mechanical heart valves

Frantically clicking?

 

Breaking the age-old, gilded framework

Ripping up the old fabric, the schema

Crazed on a daily diet of gunpowder and hate

Dreaming of a new Hiroshima

 

All worthy causes, all worth a bloodbath

Men, women, children on the ground

Fish out of water, caught in a net

Gasping, drowned

Reviews

[Dave Brown]

The seemingly endless aggressive stupidity of mankind appears to be a condition that will never correct
A poisonous planetary pimple that periodically pops
Another (of many) good writes
