REST IN BRUTAL PEACE

Upright officers

trapped soldiers in trenches;

far off Generals

spent ages playing paper games

that killed so many;

pacifist historians

dreamt of generals

with absurdly bloody hands.

In times of war

we must feed our infants

with cats and dogs;

after the bombing

you can assemble fragments

as troubled tombstones.

Lateral thinking

abolish the Warfare State;

spread marmalade peace -

that's what officers

know in their bigger, better

houses back home.
