La Guerre
Copyright 2023 by Michael Walker
They came down from the Tower of Babel
In their crazy quilts of words
They could no longer
Understand each other
So they threw stones
Instead
And that was the beginning
Of war
And a million
Wars more…
We'll have a splendid little war
In the wake
Of the Archduke's bier
Send the boys
Into No-Man's Land
With a violent
Little cheer
Oh, we'll have a splendid little
War
And a million
Wars
More…
