with the collusion
of zeus &
the advantage of
ungodly force, the
trojans sense an
opportunity to
exterminate all their
enemies, to destroy
whatever harbors them, &
to kill & maim & punish
all who tolerate even the
thought of harboring
them.
they claim to want
peace, but peace
requires patience, tolerance,
& courage &
after
millennia of tribulation,
war is more their
thing.
a tooth for a
tooth is
forgotten; they
take four lives & an
arm
& invade hurling
lightning with blind
fury
as zeus thunders in the
clouds.
images of
death & destruction
are published
across the cosmos & of
every age, new
enemies are
sworn.
the trembling
world cries out for
humanity, yet the
trojans do not
hear.
in promiscuous
outrage the
innocent are
confounded with the
guilty &
hate will not
sleep ‘til justice is
done.
