POEM: Put in a Box

Violence First Refuge of IncompetentViolence is too hubris-ridden, full of juicy justifications, to not reliably rebound. Nonviolence in response to violence calls for great creativity and courage…

Put in a Box

We have bin
Tolled
Over and over agin
The soul thing
Force is the Weapon of the WeakUnder stand
That sum people
Is violence
And when you get
The chants
“Kill them”
And ask not for whom
“For us”
And know surprise
Violence the Repartee of the IlliterateWhen effaced with
Anon violence
Thinking outsized
The box
