The drums have restarted,
the chanters proclaim
The dancers with coup sticks
in shadows remain
The flames burn in tribute
of death songs before
Because only the dead
—know the end of war

'Because only the dead
—know the end of war',
so depressingly true, but we must never give up in that dream of Civility
we rely upon, much more than we dare ponder,
as always, a write of pertinent and insightful timeless-commentary
Wise words, thanks.
