No comment remains know comments

Contributed by Peter Jarosz


No need to be paranoid.

All the elements and the whole historical and periodic dining table is set.

Many of the warring minerals are dressed for the courses to come.

The past, the present and the future meet on time.

We are once again at the religion of the crossroads in a roundabout.

How we get from the past to the other side remains in doubt.

Yet the road to Jerusalem remains the Mecca to a prehistoric age.

No comment remains know comments.

As we try to dance to the end of time,

Fools to the new clear threat is a suicidal misconception.

Yet we continue our mini wars like the childish games we played.

Block by block our knowledge excited the pain of discovery.

Now brothers in arms turned to armaments of destruction to rebuild.

Like the rule of modern civilization

The lawyered way … could be hired

To face the once-called trial by fire.

The guilty walked away unscarred 

As the paupers got to live from their starving way.

And so we continue to rewrite the arms race.

The once two-man duel got out of hand.

Now nations border exploitation 

And reason just another man-made season.

Know comments, our daily armed missiles of no comments.

We watch empty clips of used bullies’ bullets.

Live on our screens of Hollywooded battlefields.

Empathy our best sympathy 

While we Je ru sa lem mankind's Holocaust to Jerusalem.

Death is our lost breath to feed our starvation to sanity.
