Broken Pieces
Like an ancient excavation of life
An archaeological museum of human suffering
Where the ghosts of middle east wars and peace
Continue watching attempts for diversified societies
To live a peaceful existence
But…
Like a pottery sherd found deep in a dig
Middle East history leaves behind’s many layers
Of scribed history
The often onerous-weight of typological chronology
Clearly showing the continuous rivalry
Hate
And “to vanquish” mindsets.
Hope for change continues among the populous
As hostile minds clash over who has the biggest war package
As deterrent.
No…
It’s not the size of your package that matters
It’s the size of your heart
Your understanding the heart-mind coalition
Its innate nature to harmonize
And be of peaceful mind.
It’s long overdue
Give militaristic power and money
A rest.

I like how you threw in the artifacts found by archaeologist and how the translations help discern what life was like back in those times. Some mundane. Some horrific.
Thanks for the encouraging words at the end, but when it comes to war, all human sensitivity seems to be thrown out the window.

The often onerous-weight of typological chronology” . . weight with its double meaning: importance and physical heaviness. I like your using harmonizing and peacefulness right before the last two lines. It was an effective juxtaposition. I’m with you….~~ djl
