i watch the troops
the armies
row after row of soldiers
marching
armed
muscled
trained
to seek out
and kill
without asking any questions
just follow orders
or
you are courtmartialed
imprisoned yourself
i watch
the troops in my mind
instilling fear
by the image
armies of cancer cells
heavy boots
trampling innocent children
helpless against such
mindless
robots
whose very job description
is
murder
is it this image that brings fear
or
did fear
bring this image?
all happiness
all safety
the end of war
is in this answer
for fear surely
brought forth
this image
of brother
of self
as enemy
as capable of murder
whose job it is in this world
is but to kill
to destroy
in order to keep safe
insanity
this is the viewpoint
brought to us now
by
Love
in the very midst
of chaos
in the midst
of sickness
the Healer
remains
always
