Obviously You Know Nothing About Greatness Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why not destroy the lives of everyone,
To allow a few greedy and spoiled people...
Who disagree with each other,
Have their way.
Isn't that what war is all about?

'No.
War is about protecting people,
From the enemies that threaten them.'

From what?
Being ignored by a peace that bores?

'No.
From being told what peace is.
And who is better equipped to live it.'

Oh.
So it's not selecting indifferences to pick,
And then depict as undermining selfish interests?

'No.
Obviously you know nothing about greatness.
Or how it is obtained to achieve.'
