just? another war

 just? another war 


another year of the grey dust

of elections that held up democracy

that froze the explosion of tears 

running down a grimace trembling

in the arms of a dad’s eyes stunned

by a little life snuffed by the dust’s throttle

hanging on our screens 

the silent screech 

in our throats the ‘we must do something ‘

throttled by an impotence anonymised

by the very closeness of distant greyness

clean the screen ‘cos all this bloody dust

it’s just getting on my nerves


did you just say ‘just’


just another war?
