Repercussions... a poem


     Repercussions

Thucydides noticed
“Ignorance is bold..."

ALL CAPS SCREAMING
social media bellows
WAR IS TERRORISM
WITH A BIGGER BUDGET

forwarded over and over
by naive wives, mothers
little sisters
college students
and myopic Islamists near and far.

No budgets are needed
enlisting pawns- puppets- tools
bridges to beyond reason
bolstering bomb builders
and bullies world wide fueling
bigotry and bad attitudes

creating Hell for random strangers
and religious tyranny for Palestine.
