Uncivil Wars

7 2 0
                                    

The sound of the fury
like chalkboard nails
drag on and surely
my ears; do assail

with this banter
and this blather
I've no answer
and I'd rather

sit it out

Yet they prod on
and pull me in
until mind is gone
and no one wins

Foolish prattle
Selfish pride
Endless battles
to divide

In peace I watch the waves
here on my far off shores
which I refuse to trade
for these uncivil wars
