“The Picture of War” — Image by kenne
see this picture
the picture of war
not really
it’s not clear
so little information
not able to reason
observation void
or is it
some will reason
based on blind faith
indifferent to the truth
yet people believe
it is the truth
rather than asking
is it the truth
wars exist
fed on
indifference to the truth
prompt with careless moods
minus the circumstances
left to question
only at death
a glorious war
where men stood
and truth died
still, tomorrow comes
she can feel beside
a picture changing
no longer accepting
only asking
is it the truth

Truth is always lost in the fog of war. Is that why we end up in so many wars both within our lives and in the words and actions of politicians? Are we really about the glory of fog making truth indistinct?
Yes!
