WAR 2 Poem by Ignatius T. Mabasa

WAR 2



War!
War? Where? Who? Why?
Woe you mean!

War don't make no sense
When you fight ghosts and shadows
Fight ghosts and shadows
For a cause you don't know,
A cause you can't explain to your children's children.

I lost an arm and an eye
But it don't matter anymore
Maggots got their share.

Go away, leave me
To nurse my hangover
Privately, forlornly!
Leave me alone
with my absence.
