Expander 05: War Poem by Kim Barney
Expander 05: War
War.
Ugly.
Terrible.
Unforgiving.
Unnecessary.
Started by a madman
with the face of a weasel
and the brain of a butterfly.
May peace return shortly to the earth,
madman entombed in the land of his birth.
We seem to be stuck with him. My worry is who will take over from him. Another madman?
The world is full of madmen for sure. Thank you for commenting, David.
3) Your poem is most relevant, when we have Christmas at our doorstep once again. This season calls for peace, but we have more madmen around!
2) And an enticing form of poetry, the expander! I loved it.
Kim, this is a beautiful thought. Let peace be! But madmen "happen" on earth every now and then.
Well done! A timely comment on the world. I've just finished re-reading 'The Boys in the Boat' about the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. Your poem made me think of that.
We are all concerned. Let's take actions together and let PEACE be.
