My father fought the War
to End all Wars.
My Godfather fought the War
that has no end.
My brother fought the War
that was a police action.
My nephew fought the War
undeclared for Kuwait’s liberation
and Hussein’s annihilation.
My great-nephew fights the War
To save an autocrat’s administration.
We all fight the War
opposing cruel opposition to immigration.
Once more, people of peace
protest a war taking place abroad
and its counterpart taking place in our streets.
All to save a man from accusation
of pedophilia, rape and sheer brutality
who will be asked for an explanation
during his interrogation
which could lead to his incarceration.
Have I got that right?
It is not his sons nor daughter who will fight.
But, yours and mine.
Have I got that right?
It all comes from The Right
so I must be Right
or face the consequences.
Have I got that right?
We make such war at our cost
until all is lost.
Have I got that right?

JANUARY 6 INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE 12/28/2021
Secrets erode our fall from earth.
Heaven is too far to know
from whence we came
and how far we have fallen.
No one really knows
if truth be told.
That is a matter of faith
unsure
Unstable
unstoppable
like earth’s wobble
through endless space.
Despite the gravity of the situation,
or because of gravity,
still we fall
deeper into unknowing,
reliant on faith.
Perhaps senseless,
or at best clueless
until the secrets are told
and we able to behold
the truth
