confrontational history

`

 

 

 

if we looked at history

on a multi-plane spreadsheet

and compared the goings on

in each particular era

we shall find that at any given

period, no matter the advancement

there inevitably at a cost lay revealed

atrocities, genocides, discrimination

prejudices, and a lack of conscience

that marks the brute in humans

poets have also been present

ever alert on the front-line

emissaries of peace and amelioration

their words rousing, humanising
