don’t worry
they said
as if it would help
which it did
simply by not hurting
toward the start of a war
to end all wars
even if it didn’t
and decades passed
people understand
some do the right thing
wars come to an end
for a while anyway
then threaten again
as if
humans will never learn
to forgive
live in love
to save ourselves
to have enough sense
to pay our tab
before it gets
beyond our reach
