UGLY BITCH

No matter how you dress her,
war is an ugly bitch
of death and destruction,

of million-dollar missiles
smokey skies
and miscounted corpses

you can’t hide with lies.
She is always greedy,
never satisfied—

not to be undressed
by the naked truth
or pastoral poetry.

    So True – there is no justification for any war – I would love to see us evolve beyond this inhumanity!
