Agony

I lost my arm, a leg; the head
Of once my brother fell to me.
I caught it with a scream caressed with
Bowels, anointed with our blood –
Arterial – of crimson zest –
Ethereal in oxygenation.

My mother whined a haunting dirge
Of ‘Why? ’ and ‘Will this never end? ’
I answered with my bluing lips
And gurgles of antiphony.

Dying in our agony,
We make a sorry nation.

Ode to War

War is war with Nature’s peace –
Eternal is the pounding drill.
War is Man in Evil’s grease –
Besmeared is he with chronic ill.

War deplores the question: ‘Why? ’
War emits her eerie cry:
'Oh! human nature in extremis,
E’er you sport your raging p*nis
Raping us until the grave.

War aggressive, war perverse,
War oppressive, be our curse!
Up the tension – not to mention
Pain to bear and loss to share –
We are for you to so deprave! ’

In war I love an ugly rhyme –
Like a piss, it passes time.

War created aberrant charm:
Behold! the beauty in the Bomb!
'A bloom for me, a mushroom head –
Oh shrine of cloud, you are the dead.'

War is colour so demeaned:
Blood red, flash white,
Spattered o’er the civvies’ plight.

War is baying:
'Victory –! Hail the winner! Fail the loser! '
Pitiful; there are no winners, sinners!
If winners that we must define, it’s
But the side who suffered less – yes;
No less! Powerless be us all.

War – sounds almost onomatopoeic:
War; gore; implore; score (to settle) :
Floor, on which you lie when dying,
Crying, spying, putrefying –
Petrifying!

War bears childhood fantasies:
Toy soldiers for young boys,
Computers now with games,
Destroy with click of mouse,
‘I shoot you down in flames! ’

War is educational:
Jane’s Infantry Weapons.
Well hip-hip-hooray!
Now I have a great idea –
A birthday present with a sneer!

War is shame with Man to blame.
Shame on you! Shame on Man!
Damn your bomb and battle plan!
Deny the fight! Befriend the foe!

No, wait!

For if they do, then Man must go.

  3.     

A One-On-One Skirmish in War

Lend me a crushed ear,
A juicy smear of dermis, and
I shall blast ye of your world
Upon a barrel furnace
Flaring orange of an instant!

Now first, please rip apart my being:
Sunder me oh! plunder please the
Writhing flesh upon my bones and
Leave it naught of
Living life – kill to
Bleeding cinders; embers of an ex.

Recuperation? Never! no!
Otherwise to suffer minds –
Bowels and all to wither
Aren’t on offer –

Only desperate tears to flee! Now
Let me in and I’ll remove
Your rhythmic timer – the
Pumping tinderbox to feed
A vox humana pleading for its life;
The reaper’s chimer

Sees you burn,
Hears you spurn your soul –
Your screaming head – top flesh;
Dead mesh – mesh of death! No
Breath from breast! No
Beat or heat from rising ribs –
How neat, the meat in
Death together!

WAR

WAR IS WAR
WAR MEANS DEATH
WAR MAKES YOU CRY
WAR PUTS YOU IN DEPRESSION
WAR IS KILLING PEOPLE
WAR DOSE NOT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD
WAR SCARES YOU
WAR WAR WAR WAR
SO MANY THINGS GO WRONG IN WAR
WAR KILLS YOU
WAR MEANS FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE AND OTHER LIVES
WAR WAR WAR WAR
