War Poem by J.B. LeBuert

oops! triolet, not troilet. and i did send it to MyPoemList.

a toilet structured poem? oops. that's troilet! never heard of one, but i like it. i find this to be a very truthful, though partial, evaluation of war. i was a 70's conscientious objector. when will God come down and straighten out all of our messes? ? [i don't believe there is a 'real' god, by the way.] war does have some good effects (sometimes) : boosting an economy and controlling a population and spurring technological development. but a world without war and more-minor conflicts would be preferable in my eyes. i saw a title about a hat somewhere. i'll take a look. i decided to look at 'you' and your poems 'cause your photo looked like me, an old guy in big hat. bri :) thanks for sharing.
