HATE'S REVENGE (Kosovo)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

mystery

a blown up suspicion

felled in the initial

conception

its a shadow that looms

over promises

with dashed hopes

that are

continuously spoken

aloud

in creative twisted riddles

disillusions own broach

further tarnished

by the shear entirety

known as man

that today is worn

to take out another's garbage

a war

feverishly fought

so to win the rights

to stamp out

another's religiously narrowed

out look

misery reigns some 75 days or more

now all for but some grim restitution

for the sporadic charms of military

action

fairness in this hell

plays no real nor recognizable part

thine enemies have seen to that

such unilateral hate only fuels

the ever present upheaval

slogging away at the old way of life

just beneath the surface

ever ready to fiercely rise again

to maliciously murder and maim

many an innocent more

which mostly consists of the wives

and children of simple men

there is a once whispered now shouted

echo here

can you hear it

Holocaust

this last decade of the 20th century

is inundated with

its legacy......................

(June 9, 1999)
