POEM: The Biggest Flail Ever

War is a failure of humanity at so many levels. Certainly, mass violence favors authoritarians and constricts and degrades all things progressive in the body politic.

The Biggest Flail Ever

With ravenous waist
Warmongers
Gut it out
A triumph of right supremacy
Whatever
May go wrong
The war machine is billed
The biggest flail ever
Their arms
Bequeathing buckets of fingers
And severed dreams
Their hollowed canons
Securing a moral bankruptcy
And leaving spent
Shells
Of human beings
Swearing
On your mama’s grave
A raze for every won
