-Before the War
There was nothing
before the War
There will be nothing
after the War
Except and until
there is another War
Accept the fact
All of our lives
there has been war
Cold Tepid Hot War
When there is no war
then there is nothing
There is no peace
after war
Only a time for
the strategic
and tactical
preparations
for the next
and the next
and another war
So then we seek
the banal nothingness
of peace
That we may restore
our ability to wage war
more effectively
once more
and again
In perpetuity.
