home Poem List next poem Geometry of War Some simple geometric measurements Have been changing with each new obstruction Causing concern because such displacements Point to flaws in wisdom or instruction Jumping off a cliff is clear in moments None really needs to see the final fall Delaying judgement wavers and foments Delusions of victory from a crawl Women have entered into the killing Their particulars of peace have ended It must be assumed they're soldiers willing Their female numbers will be amended Others too seem unwilling to engage Infantry conflicts seem too avoided Reactions on our side at times wreak rage Mocked stretching thru humor gored and goaded Unbelieving observers watch chaos Evolve quickly from nothing we can see Rising from empty minded thoughts at loss Aimless wandering faulted mentally For conspiracy or incompetence Must surely sit upon this rise of time Where opinions marshall without pretense And marshalling always changes with rhyme (c)ERA 07:49 AM 3/31/03
