Collateral Damage


This child will not stoop to listen 
To droning cold-blooded explanations 
As to why war exists and why 
There must be winners and losers— 

All this child wants is to hear 
The smallest heart beat.

  1. There's a factory not so far from where we live that builds the engines for these "cold-blooded explanations". My old man's part of a group that holds monthly vigils at the gates.

  2. Heartening to see such vigils aimed at the heart of the matter.
