At War: A Haiku
All such beautiful
Such swirling and billowing
Energy in you
Pathos: A Haiku
Off the mountaintop
More oxygen to these wounds
Less surprise attacks
Dissection

My soul the General
Directing a blood battle
Commanding legions of voices in my head
Take no prisoners!
A Civil dissection upon shared territory
Pitting brother truth against father lies 
War already won
But war is hell, and this battle, more so
My aristocratic hands, hard evidence
My afire body, further proof
I’m fireproof and unquenchable
A knifesman and blacksmith to the bone
Lincoln Green
Why if we scream
Are we questioned
Our sanity
Our faithfulness
Our allegiance with true patriots
What of war cries
Of the war crimes
Our eyes opened
Our sleeves rolled-up
Our feet planted where lies cannot stand
When Good returns
To the Empire
Who’ll be kneeling
Who’ll be weeping
Who’ll be seeing that they have no clothes
“Amazonium”
Wrists crossed
A shield of sorts
From all that burns inside
Which threat
Should be indulged
Which trouble to let slide
