The Human War Machines

Dark are Vietnam Veteran wrought depressions

Where there is no bottom to have any hope in

Daggers dig deep, not in dying alone, but existing

Down, down deeper into abyss solitude one cries

What if one could Be

To Be an America afforded the Bill of Right

To Be a Veteran allowed to write in their home

To Be a Ben Franklin role model in Social Justice

To Be an American who graduated into the Vietnam War

To Be once a Poet who loved to write his UniVerse

Oh To Be so many things that only found Termination

Being fired, laid off, downsized, you name it, it happened

The one that hurt most, was being Terminated for Poetry.

They threw it in my face, as Vietnam Vet, who wrote on napkins

But those napkins kept me from the Black Hole of dire despair

You know, no one cares about Veterans, who come home scarred

Does any one listen, does anyone, hear the echo soul of soldiers

Naught To Be, Naught To Be, War has to be WH glorified

But you ever notice how many had wealth bone spur excuses

The Sessions, Cheney, Clinton, Obama people with elite power

Who did trump the Draft, in that working class, were the pawns

These are the same people who today say, “We need troops.”

Over here, over there, well - let US, send them everywhere

But we will stay home and collect the profits from

The Human War Machines

Does naught war knots twist around word’s scorn, amid forlorn feelings

Flaunt taunt eye lash whips that slash cuts  like swords opening wounds

Somehow our innards become transposed thought upon bleeding canvas’

Where we live inside space vacuum voids that encases our feelings

We are Human War Machines remnants - discarded human kind Veterans

That somehow our purpose has been expended as used waste material.

Global Warring and Warming, hand in hand are destructive environments

Wham bam, rat a tat - the shells of soldiers are expended spent ammunition

Onward, onward march, The Human War Machines, decimating History

That create Crosses in Christianity, Jewish head stones, Muslim flowers

That human being become fertilizer where the stench permeates the ground

Where the blood flows from both Human War Machines to congeal peace.

What is the basis of Human to Human clashes lies amid bigoted hatred

It is when History build Walls based on Hate that says they are less human

That we are a Master Race of White, Black, Yellow, Brown and Red

Strange how the Germanic Right is white with blond hair that trump look.

You ever seen, how Jesus skin color changes to Lily White Mary and Child.

That Jesus was a Jew of Middle Eastern tan descent with long flowing hair

When did Christianity bleach itself with Conservative short hair symbolism

Did Jesus build a Wall to protect His flock from those Caesar Latin invaders

Yet to secure America from Latins, we need a wall that Pope did say

Nations that build Walls, often put those that need them, within them

Does not Love create universal understanding in taking down Wall Barriers

Why is it that every 50 years Hate creates crematoriums smoldering human ashes.

Leaders build up flocks of lamb followers who obey there Supreme Lord Czar

Is World War III, Armageddon - The Last Human War Machine
