The Art of WarA Poem by Dimitrios AlexopoulosThe Art of War Don't go to War if you go to War you are already dead you kill your dreams inside a sealing blanket that can't absorb nightmares your have a scheduled laughter now- entropy is winning rapidly your handshake is weaker as you remember the last words of your friend in the field his mother is your mother and you feel as a brother to all you want to cry stop but your ticket is already used you have drop so much water from the fountain of your eyes that a river has been born perhaps you feel responsible in some way you are not you can't hold the world in your solders- but you need to -there is an inner duty to prevent others from dying you saw what man can do how easy unblinking eyes look at you breathless you smell loss you want to open your arms and give a hug but you can't -there is no space anymore Don't go to War That's the Art of War © 2015 Dimitrios Alexopoulos |
