Who Knows ?

 

Dedicated to all those living in September 1939.

 

Who Knows ?

 

And September-3rd rain dims

won peace disarming the patience

of now-disturbed people

as the world unbelievingly waits

uncertain but hopes expire

when as that third day emerges 

from neutral air, war arrives.

 

Faces exchange fear in waves 

of anger while many agree that 

the international mantra

\"Those to whom evil is done do

the same in return\" seems 

insane but who knows even now 

how to adjust that falsified

bit of the formerly useful idiom ? 

 

Let us never make progress forward

to historically backward windows

where when shut by sacrificed lives

deserve to stay peacefully closed.
