'The Last Question'
Is WAR
Man's response to death?
(that surly thing that makes
no sense to mortals?)
Is it like the small boy
Who screams at thunder
to prove he's not afraid?
A "Death isn't scary
so let's do it up big?"
Attitude?
And what of Mothers
The givers...the bearers of Life?
Reluctant to feed
Their just grown babes
Into its ugly jaws?
Yet stand beside their boys
Hand over heart
Pledging
The world into oblivion...
