JOKERS OFF THE PACK


2.0 warmongers and wars

Wasn't there a world where great fiction, not deception,
complimented common fact like black and white images of truth ?

Wasn't there a realm of fiction where anger lurked
unrealized unfocussed unexpressed
biding the sign to burst forth
like the wrath of Krakatau ?

Weren't warmongers and warriors so wrapped with terrorising and inciting fear
while people were plagued by so many mines of misery in which abuses and
diseases and injustices and murder and poverty and rape and slavery and
so many more wrongs wrought so many million entrapped ?

Why couldn't we harness our open community spirit to realize focus express
our disgust and anger at ourselves having in our midst those "boh" fellows;
our anger at not having them contained and civilized and in some cases
genetically modified or neurologically induced to disengage from
abusing aggrieving bullying exploiting threatening victimising
warmongering and ruining the resources of our world ?

Wouldn't there be a world where values and laws enshrine norms
treating invasion and occupation as acts of aggression and terror
and treating people who urge people to war as sick "boh" fellows
in institutions for biotechnological or neurological rehabilitation ?
("boh" = blood on hands)
