No Glory Here























Wars are dread scourges
that humankind never fails
over time and space to visit
and re-visit upon itself,
stupidly failing to heed
its own advice to look to
history, parse and gain.

Yes, there is such a rarity as a
"just" war; remotely rare, where
the violated lives demand
intervention and here, too,
humanity fails to intercede for
just reasons, citing instead a myriad
of provocations originating
in crass imperatives.
