No Divine Wind Poem by John Paul Butler
No Divine Wind
It's a lazy wind
that blows right through
Not around things
as it's supposed to
Being far from stupid
it knows what to be
But can't be bothered
which bothers me
And so it's a lazy wind
blowing right through
That doesn't care
whether its me or you
It's a lazy wind
blowing through me
And it's not even divine
not kamikaze
(cont.) The word kamikaze means 'divine wind, ' a reference to a typhoon that fortuitously dispersed a Mongol invasion
'kamikaze, any of the Japanese pilots who in World War II made deliberate suicidal crashes into enemy targets, usually ships. The term also denotes the aircraft used in such attacks. The practice was most prevalent from theBattle of Leyte Gulf, October 1944, to the end of the war. (cont,)
JOHN, YOU MISSED ONE 'IT'S': whether its me or you.... HA HA. Typos happen to 'the best of us'. I know 'cause I'm one of them...one of 'the best', NOT one of the typos.
