A Path to War

they've adopted hate

as the answer,

excluding patience.  

~

they've assigned

vile language

as their position.  

~

drums of war

ornament speeches

with scornful accents.  

~

and so they'll march;

they'll refute

the enemy.  

~

they'll intercept

and reimburse

with unyielding blame.  

~

lines are drawn;

we've been here before.

Think the '60s

think Kent State

and the violation

of innocent lives.  

~

The raven

omen of ill fortune

is on a nearby limb.  

~

The fuse is set,

the wick is burning

an explosion's approaching.
