war without end amen

the oldest furies still say they remember
the days when things were short and the bombs fell
when fires of hope had burned down to an ember
and life was seen as brief escapes from hell
the story does not change although the tools
are different horses in this day and age
those who deny comparisons are simply fools
the only proper response to this is outrage
the victims are the same white brown or black
the killers are the same despite their uniform
in every case the same result we see a lack
of every human virtue of every civil norm
the thing that matters we've been always told
is that justice does not realise when its been sold
