Tears Know War
What is this creeping quietness of eruption,
this stifled resonance of tremors below,
seeping from glistening ducts its sterile cries,
littering the face of self-loathing guilt,
with the quiet pain seeking freedom
to be that which it longs to be… calming peace?
It is not a thing, this focus.
It is what living is truly all about,
the oft time grasp to just-plain-meet-and-know-life,
before it’s too late.
For some—now.
For many—when?
Saudi Arabia is in a land grab for Yemen. The US supports Saudi Arabia largely because of our dependence upon Saudi and other Middle Eastern countries' oil and gas resources. Iran is coming to the side of the underdog, Yemen. The US better pay attention to how it retaliates for the loss of oil-producing facilities. Bloodshed is not the way. Let's see if the administration is smarter than so many administrations before.
