The Harbinger Of War - Tanka

Rating: 4.5


He unites one group
And sows hate and division
In other people.
He creates great confusion.
A harbinger of great war.

Yes, and along the way, language is defiled. Language was created to be the sacred vessel of human connection. Poetry is our gesture to re-sanctify that vessel.

Patriotism is a misnomer. Actually, "patriotism' misplaced is the harbinger of wars..

This can be said of most politicians, especially those of a tyrannical disposition. True words have never been spoken. Well crafted
