  My Weapons Are Heavy With Regret, v.2 by nilwilnil


An author friend penned his own take on this piece. 

 

For what flag?

To what aim and desired results decreed?

Oh, what promises made to some rag;

how many lives lost or destroyed?

 

Does it matter for what flag and entity is this done?

Pawns of autocrats, plutocrats and slime

All greed and desire bred

While we fall in line,

 Obey, our mythical allegiances buried deep and preyed upon.

 

And my mind, the ultimate weapon holding,

While regret, at night comes out of hiding

Sober face to face my mind’s mirror shining

Acknowledging within that without,

No stick could ever be lifted.

mmm six fingers and toes, cats with wings, have you been reading my fiction?

And, what wrong shall the fresh earth cover, asked the poet.
