Brutality imprisoned upon
group consciousness
impacts against sanctions.
Hotheads work against
ethos etiquette evaporating
evasive consensus.
United Nations act solely
upon noble discretion justified
super-power whims.
Inaction action dictated
within preconceived established
spheres of political influence.
Castrating humanitarian
suppressed ethnic needs
within constructed artificial
obsolete buffer zones
predatory Quasi-empiricism
nationalism endorsed.
Sanity supersedes sociopolitical socialism.
U.S.-NATO-Soviet Strategic Alliance.
Juggling shuffled stolen grid counters.
Sitting behind big fat oak desks
bits of tin proudly pinned to chests
biggest bravest shriveled brainless.
Tiny little girls and naughty little boys
playing with antique nuclear toys.
Shrieking shrill shrimp joys chills.
Taking it all too seriously.
To make it so. Dangerous.
There is a time to put away.
Undesirable. Childish. Things.
To share with purity love purloined time.
An expanding engulfing cosmic peace of mind.

Bravo.....the ultimate word I can simply utter. Bravo........ Publish it on a stone-page and throw it to the faces of bosses of world-politics. Inaction action dictated / within preconceived established / spheres of political influence. Shit. More horrible the truth as you have illustrated... Tiny little girls and naughty little boys / playing with antique nuclear toys.......Dangerous. Voice of the time. Write more and live long....... Regards, 10+++ pranab
