I Made Peace With the War I’m In

Poetry

made peace with the war I’m in
wage wars drove honest living
to extinction
it costs to be sick and tired
you’ll be fired

reminiscing on blood sacrifices
where’s the gods’ favor?
thou shall make tax offerings
to a greedy savior

blind obedience
is their secret ingredient

maybe kamikaze missions
will make them rethink
their policies and decisions

violence isn’t the answer,
but people never question

defiance is a weapon
honorable death is protection
